Right there is a plug, if you expand that picture u can see the square end of the plug, if its missing get a replacement, if its leaking pull it put some Teflon tape on it and re install it. you also could have a leak at your oil cooler but i was just going by your description. What had u done to this engine before it was installed? used engine?

Im just going off memory here man, The Previous owner could have used that port to supply a turbo with oil, or had an after market oil sensor installed there. i know when i couldnt get mine out we pounded a 8mm socket onto the square and cause it kept trying to round on us. i think its like a 1/4" x 1/4" square end. i could be off a little, im pretty sure the hole is around 3/8s. check to see if there is even one there. my guess as much as its flowing it was removed. if its not there than someone that might know the exact size of it can chime in.
