Oil loss, front of NA 5 cyl...removal of AC?

[Kwattro@aol.com]

Hey guys - in changing oil today, I noticed that the front of the motor had a 
considerable amount of oil on it.  It appears to be coming from around the 
oil temp. sensor, but without the car on the lift it's tough to tell.  Would 
this be due to the recent removal of the AC components? - there is a whole 
where apparently a bolt went into the bottom end which is now gone - would 
that bolt also be responsible for holding the bottom end together?

Later!
