The passenger side exhaust manifold on my 265 V8 is leaking badly around

anyone
know why there is a covered port there? I cannot imagine any reason for it.

Hey Dennis,
I wonder if the one of the previous owners tried to seal a crack this way?
I happen to have a '55 265 in my Dads shop, it's from a car though...anyway,
i'll take a look at it tomorrow and see if it has what you describe.
