Bell housing drainage grommet

[ben 4.2td]

I was watching 10 thing you don't know about a patrol on you tube, and it mentioned about removing a Grommet on the bell housing to drain out water. I noticed that I do not have this grommet on my bell housing, should there be a grommet on this drainage hole, or should it be left open.

I think it is supposed to be sealed, but mine is missing the grommet. Any idea where to get one?

I made one out of some silicone that was left in the nozzle in the gun. Too easy.

I think I might try the silicon trick as well. What happens if water gets into the bell housing

Clutch gets wet, not good. Things rust. Graham I lost all gears in mine when water got in too at loveday.

If you use the bung definitely worth taking out and checking for water contamination after deep water/mud crossings.
