    Can't you see the picture? It's the hole towards the top and center of this picture. The hole is behind and below the fuel filter. Right above the oil pan. Drivers side.

    That's one of the 4 holes that is used for your dipstick. Should have a rubber plug in the ones not used for a dipstick.

    Is there no rubber plug in the hole??

    Barrel plugs. Cat p/n 165-6170.
    I would try to recover the old one or whats left of it before it starts to plug off the oil pump suction. Sometimes a coarse wood screw installed into the middle of the old one helps pull it out.
