What are these teardrop shaped thingamabobs on the bottom of the Panavia Tornado? What are these two teardrop shaped thingamabobs on the bottom of the Panavia tornado? 


They could be hardpoints but I haven't found any photos where anything would have been mounted there. They don't look like hatches. And they don't seem to be any kind of vortex generators either. What purpose do they serve?

They appear to be related to changing the oil.

The Tornado's flight manual is available online. Page 448 shows what seem to be the features you're talking about:
