Default Auto transmission leak

Can anyone tell me what this 11mm bolt is for?

Mine was backed out, but not loose, and leaking. I tightend it up and it stopped leaking. But from all the pix I have found it looks like its supposed to be out a little.

IIRC and without looking in the SM, it's the port to check the pressure.

Default Thanks

If you have the service manual would you mind looking it up and verifying, and tell me if it's supposed to be completely closed and if so what the torque setting is?

Line pressure plug is correct.
The torque spec is 97 lb. in.
That's just a smidgen over 8 lb. ft. aka not very much.
