I do believe that is the hole for the distributer, but I will admit I am not 100% sure. If it is leaking remove it scrape it clean with a razor and wire brush, apply some good RTV, Permatex Right Stuff or Grey. That will seal it and you should be good to go.

- Right now, only one '76 CJ5. 304 with a three speed stick. Everything else is pretty much stock 'cept for a 4" suspension lift. Came to me with a back breakin' 4" suspension lift attached to a reverse shackle setup (Reversed the reverse shackle :dung: and now she rides like a Caddy!) Also posess a few 60s & 70s Mustangs and a couple of late 70's F150s 4X4s.
I found this pic doing a google search. I don't know what the purpose of the hole is just above and to the left of where the oil filter screws on. Evidently, the folks with the motor above didn't either. It has a block off plate also. Looks like theirs is shaped a little better so it'll actually block off the hole. You may just need to make a better block off plate out of a piece of scrap flat stock, cut yourself a new gasket and put some caulk gasket maker on it to help seal and bolt it down.
Except for a good source to start an oil leak, I don't have a clue what it's for.
