I think it's the bolt hole that attaches a heat shield that goes between the oil breather and turbo.

that heat shield bolts to the back of the turbo bracket, right under the two rear bolts for the turbo heat shield.

There is a recess in the head about the size of a quarter. That is the freeze plug. Oh! Oh! I'm sorry, I meant the expansion plug. If that is really missing, then your car must be running hot, or not at all.

If its a threaded hole your'e looking at then nothing goes there. On each end of both heads there are three holes to mount the accessory brackets and ground wires. On the front of the RH head only two bolts are used for the turbo mounting bracket. On the back two bolts are used for the wiring harness grounds. On the front of the LH head all three holes are used for the A/C,P/S ,gen and belt tensioner brackets and none of the rear ones are used.
