Oil dripping from regulator area

I have a small oil leak on one of my multifuels, and finally took the time to track it down. It seems to be coming from a brass fitting(plug?) on the bottom side of what I am assuming is the oil pressure regulator(the rectangular assembly behind the oil filters). I am looking for a schematic that would show all the parts there. I am afraid to just pull the fitting out until I know what is there. It looks like I just need to pull the plug and seal it with teflon or a copper washer, depending on the configuration, but I don't want any suprises. If anyone knows where I can get a look at a schematic, please let me know. I tried to locate the TM manuals here, but I guess they are down again.

Sounds like you're talking about the oil cooler. The pressure regulator is on the other side of the block.

Actually it's one of the plugs on the bottom. I am not sure yet, but looks like it is either a pipe thread that needs some thread sealer, or it's straight thread and needs a copper washer.
