That bolt hole goes all the way through and if there is no bolt plugging it, it will pour oil out (I speak from experience). Hopefully I explained it well enough

Oh, and if there isn't a bolt in it, make sure to put a very short (1/2" or less) bolt in it or it will hit the fuel pump pushrod and cause more problems

While at the shop this morning I checked on this bolt hole. Sure enough there's no bolt there. Thanks for the tip, I'll get it plugged.
