The holes are so you can lube your clutch.
You haven't been lubing your clutch?!?!?!
That's why Chevy's have leaky rocker coversQuote:

Just think of it as a rust preventative.
I remember a removable access plate on the manual trans for 90's 350's.
The holes are cheaper means of access. It's an s10, they were supposed to be cheap.
Another potential source of undercarriage glop is leaky power steering components.
Taste it to determine the source. Engine oil has a more floral note and chocolatey finish than diff fluid, which tends to have more bitter notes.
I've never tried power steering fluid which in many cases is just ATF fluid.
The ATF fluid will Always Taste Fruity. :fmicon:
