Leaking engine oil out of nipple under intake (pic inside)
Hey forum, so was under the car (1984 xj6 III) for an oil change and noticed I was leaking oil from what looks to be a vacuum nipple under the intake manifold. I recently cleaned out the screen for the pcv valve and don’t think the car burns much oil. Is this normal? What is the purpose of that nipple! Do I need to cap it to stop the vacuum leak there?
thanks in advance

I think your drain cap is missing (Red Circle).. any Automotive Store should have.
