That elbow is just pressed in.   Can be twisted out.   Take it out and tap
the hole.   I'd use a BSPP tap.  A BSPP plug which takes a copper washer
can be used to make a professional looking job.   If the manifold is on the
engine fill the tap with grease to catch the chips.
 More work, nice looking fix.
