Hole in engine

I was looking at a used 2000 F250 7.3 diesel and underneath the truck by the starter was a quarter sized hole right on the transmission housing.My question is is this an inspection hole or was something installed their? It looks like its supposed to be their but I did not have one on my 1990 F250.

I've tried.....but I can't figure out what your seeing. I've got a 2000 F350. Can you maybe take a picture and post it? Then maybe someone will be able to answer the question for you.

Are you sure that you aren't confusing the 7.3L IDI with the 7.3L PSD....

They are two totally different animals.

Its not my truck so I cannot take a picture.The truck is 100 miles from my house.I was thinking of buying it and wasn't sure if I should be concerned about the hole.It looks like it is supposed to be their.

It looked like it was in the tranny section than the engine.At least what I can remember of it.
