What to do when the engine oil sight glass falls out


Mr. Hiekel, on a recent dirt trip Umpang on his Chinese 250cc dirt bike had the oil sight glass fall out, allowing the majority of oil to escape from the crank case.

He initially plugged the hole with a rag, then at the next village had a local fabricate a wooden plug for him to fill the hole where the oil sight glass should be.
 
& ended up like this (trail riding in rainy season is always Russian roulette). I'm told a report of the fun maybe forthcoming.
