There is a Knurled knob on the starboard side of the W40 just aft of the forward motor mount and forward of the dip stick that appears to be leaking oil. Does anyone now what this is? Can it be removed and sealed better?

Maybe the oil pressure alarm sensor?

nope, that's on the other side of the engine. The knob also has no wires coming out of it.

If I am reading the parts manual correctly, this is the cap for the tachometer drive. Parts #26 to 31 on page 201 found here:

Looks like there's a washer under the cap that could be leaking. Not sure what the tach drive is all about, but that's what's listed!
