Engine Casing Concern

[JasianBusBoi]

Hello all-

I am in the middle of replacing gaskets and working on the clutch and noticed something that concerned me around the lip of the engine case in this area.

I posted some pictures of the area which is at the bottom of the engine where you would mount to the transmission.

These are angled views of the area

Should I be concerned?

somebody used something to pry the case apart when it was rebuilt in the past not a problem if not leaking

Most cases are dipped there to allow stuff to drain from the bellhousing, it's nothing to worry about.

As BD mentions there was a drainage passage there from the factory, looks to me like someone may have crudely enlarged it.
