Replace Lower Banjo Bolt and Fitting

This was a shorter day.  I removed the lower Banjo Bolt and the oil began running out of the crank case.  I put the bolt and fitting back in the opening and cleaned up the oil spill.  I suspended a bucket under the engine and removed the bolt and fitting once more.  I allowed the oil to drain until it stopped.  I used one of the copper washers to install the new replacement fitting from Rotax.  After torquing the fitting to 15 ft lbs I removed the yellow cap from the original fitting and put it on the replacement fitting.  
Section 46 is now complete.
