A mounting end of an engine-driven accessory includes a longitudinally-extending neck having imperforate lateral surfaces defining a central bore. A flange having a mounting face is disposed at the end of neck. A plurality of generally radially extending drain passages are formed through the flange, which communicate with the central bore to form a fluid flow path between the bore and the exterior of the flange. A seal is provided for blocking selected ones of the drain passages while leaving the remainder of the drain passages open. The accessory may include a cover having an integral sealing rim which cooperates with a notch in a mating component to compress a portion of a resilient seal while simultaneously allowing for expansion of the remainder of the seal.
