Engine question

Is that hole in the middle of the photo meant to have a plug in it? With the engine on i can see what seems to be the water pump gear spinning? It is on the passenger side right near the bottom radiator hose.
There is a fair bit of oil everywhere too.

it should be plugged with a welsh plug i think.
You can see inside the timing cover, which is where oil lives, so not good.

Had no luck with this problem.Went to Subaru and they tried to say it was a screw type plug,so I waited a couple of weeks for the part which they ended up loosing then finding again and it didn't fit.
It looks to be a threadless hole so who knows what goes in there.
Can someone please snap a quick photo next time they're under the car?
Cheers

Bit hard to spot on this.Was that from the workshop manual?
