From memory it is on the right hand side of the car, which is the left hand side when looking up at the block from below. That is it is the side with the oil filter/induction, not exhaust.
I remember using a depth guage to check which hole it was.
Be alert to the oil pan bolt lengths on the 150. The bolt for the right
front corner position needs to be a bit shorter than the others so that it
will not jam against the lower timing cover bolt.

Hi Everyone,
When removing the oil pan, I found that all the bolts were the same length (3/4"). They are 5/16", fine thread.
The manual says that one of them is supposed to be shorter than the rest.I believe I know which hole requires the shorter bolt.
Q1) What length is the shorter one supposed to be?
Given the PO, or someone, used bolts all the same length, plugging the flow at the point were the short bolt is supposed to be, I am supposing this means something was being denied its oil rig…
Regards,
