I Found A Nipple On My Yaris!

And I'll tell you where it is so you can see if yours has one!

Its right next to the oil filter (I was changing my oil with the car up on ramps and having a good look around).

Its on the end of the starter motor. Its black and about an inch long.

When it touched it () it felt all hollow inside.

I wonder if that means its some kind of water drain?

What could it be for?

I have a whole series of pics that I have taken while mine was up on my lift. Sure enough there it is. I believe that is where the IQs nurse until they are ready to be weaned.

I don't see the NIPPLE. Where is the NIPPLE? I want to see it. The NIPPLE, that is.

Solenoid ventilation - to let the dust out, I'd say. A lot of starters have this.

When I went on line to find a clamp for it I ended up on a website that had nothing to do with cars
