Leak in 7500 watt Onan Diesel Generator
See the below photo. My generator is leaking a pretty steady drip of oil that is coming out of one of those weep holes near the drain plug. It’s not coming from the filter and you can’t access that ...

The problem is the leak is behind that hole. If you look at the photo you can see the object the holes are in is part of the generator casing and the generator mounts are screwed into it. What it looks like to me is I have to pull the generator out even to access that part of the casing to remove it to even see where the leak is. I do have a borescope camera so I’ll try to get up under there and see if I can find someplace to get access to put the camera in, but those existing holes aren’t big enough. Anyway, if I have to pull the generator out that’s above my skill level and I don’t have the tools to do it anyway so I’ll have to take it to a shop. I’m just trying to figure out if there is any chance there is an easier way. I’m doubting there is.
