Hi,
I'm new to engine repairs and was replacing the clutch in my 1966 Mustang 200ci engine, and I noticed what looks like a leak from a freeze plug on the rear of the engine. I cleaned it off and waited a few hours, and another few drops formed (engine not running since the crankshaft, starter, etc.is removed). I figured it was a freeze plug and that it might be leaking antifreeze, but it sure looks/feels like engine oil.
See pictures.

1. Can someone tell me what the plug is?
2. It looks like it is stamped "Dorman Products" and "D-48-C" (or "P-48-C") but I can't find that part online. Suggestions for a replacement part?
Thanks,
