I was cleaning the aircleaner on my newly aquired 2011 TE 310 and noticed FACTORY 3 holes in the bottom. Should these be plugged. Seems one of them should have one of those rubber drains, one way thing you pinch to drain anything in the box, nothing there but would explain the hole, but there are 2 other holes. Do I just silicone them up?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!

Yea I wish they had a "one way rubber drain" but don't: 3 narrow slit holes at the bottom, makes you worry about water coming in from the bottom... right??. So you think about sealing, but you don't want to totally seal them off though- cause then where would it go if it comes from the top? round and round we go... I have thought about making a poor mans one way valve with gorilla tape and old tube underneath that would open with pressure from above but would close with pressure from below (though not perfectly seal). But in the end I haven't had an issue. If you come up with something.... let me know.

I used some gray plastic foam, I cut 2 rectangles and forced them into the middle and right side slot. I allowed the left side slot to stay open, so that when on the kickstand, any oil and water can drain out. This way, if I get stuck in a water hole, the ingress of water is slowed by coming in only one hole, gives me a little time to get out.
