are you talking about the plug in the head. if so the 04/05 heads had a plug pressed in and I have had them pop out before. they sell an aluminum plug that you put in there and use the screw on the side of the head to lock it in.

yea i guess thats it it right in front of the fan and it looks like it goes in a little tunnel and all the oil was just shooting out its not a major problem is it.
