At least one oil passage connects a crankcase to the reservoir. The oil cover, or both the oil cover and the crankcase member may contain one or more baffles configured to impede a flow of oil away from the lubricant pump assembly. Additionally, the cover may include one or more projections securing one or more plugs within one or more countersink portions of the crankcase member.
