Found my minimal oil drip. Coming from the subject fastener. Can't find it in the breakdown. Help identifying is appreciated. Guess I'll need to change my oil to get to it. Shame though - only $5K on my Mobil 1. Thoughts as to BTDT causes would be appreciated. Torque value?

That is one of the nuts for the crank girdle.
I bet your leak is coming from some place else, above it, if not then you have a problem that will require removing the crank girdle to correct.

Thanks - looked at the crank breakdown and found it. Yeah - drip is probably not coming from there. Just a nuisance really. I'll poke around above it to see what can be seen.
