Merry Christmas! G4003

A couple of ideas to consider. After breakin, syphon oil out. Standard draining makes a mess when it gets down to the dribble and won't hit the funnel. I placed 3 magnets in separate corners, Enjoy the new lathe. I was pacing the floor waiting for my UPS delivery 2 months ago for my G4003G.
 
I think I will add a 45* npt fitting and extension for a drain. I really want to drain it and flush to remove all the particles.

The manual calls out for 15 oil ports but only shows 14. Where's the last one located?

I think for an easy first few projects I will make some oiler cups for the drip oilers.

And I've read there's an oil port for the threading rod bearing behind the cover. I don't know if grizzly did anything with this? Should I remove the cover to inspect or add a port for oiling?
