What is this thing circled in green?


I tried to look in the Bentley manual, but couldn't find it. I'm probably looking in the wrong section.

(Pic borrowed from 240turbo.com, thanks!)

Weird, the pic shows for me even on another device. I'll try again. Anyway, it's a small nipple directly aft of the oil filter.

One more try, perhaps I'm not allowed to borrow the photo. Here's my own - it's very hard to see from the top:

The photo problem was on my side. I had blocked the image.

The nipple is the block coolant drain.

Neat, thank you! I'm relieved it's supposed to be like that. :)
