Missing seal?

2003 F150 SCrew KR Auto tranny
4R70W Tranny, I think.
I was changing the oil today and I noticed a hole on the bottom of the tranny...a machined hole, not a hole from damage. It was close to the oil pan, I guess the front of the tranny, toward the front of truck. The hole is a little bigger than a half dollar. I can see a gear in there...flywheel maybe? Anyway, shouldn't there be a seal or something over that hole. If so, any idea about a part number? I tried to find an exploded view to get a name for the seal and I looked on fordpartsnetwork, but no luck.
Thanks!

That sounds like the torque converter drain plug access for those transmissions that have a drain plug. There is a rubber plug that fits the hole to keep dirt and water out.
