Can anyone tell me where the oil drain plug is for the pilot motor on a Caterpillar No.12 Motor Grader 38E161 with electric start pilot motor please?

    There should be a stub sticking out from low down on the rear side of the pony engine between the main engine. It should have a hex cap on it if i remember correctly

    Yes about 3 inches long and 2/4 innch round? Undid it and nothing, but just had a thought maybe its blocked up inside. Will try again. Thanks.
