Default Missing nut identity

Can someone identify the missing nut (should be inside the red circle in attached photo) and the associated stud? It is broken off and I need to know the part numbers to replace.

Thanks!

Default Missing Nut--looks like a through bolt on the engine case

--could be the reason why you have an oil leak

I knew the minute I wrote that I would be sorry. I guess I'm just a loose nut behind the wheel..

Anyway the oil leak is coming from above, not the seal... That's a separate project for this nut, yours truly.

It's not a through bolt, as those surround the cylinders. But there certainly IS a stud there on the perimeter of the crankcase that has sheared off (taking the nut with it). Only way out of that is extracting the stud and replacing it, along with another nylock nut and washer. I've honestly never seen a stud broken off down there.

Is there an oil leak? I just see old cosmoline.

That was my plan. I just can't figure out the stud and nut part numbers from the catalog....
