I think you're talking about the hole on the lower right of the bell housing ?
If so that's one of the attachment points for the motor plate, not huge deal if one is missing but yes there should be one.
It's a thin sheet metal plate that mounts between the the bell housing and engine.

You can fix it when you fix what appears to be a main seal leak.

The bolts attach from the plate side, not the other way around. If you're expecting to see a bolt head in that pic you'd be wrong.

EDIT: And I cannot see what that actually looks like because the pic is blurry. All I can make out is some threads, which would be correct if that tiny bolt is threaded in from the back side, like it should be.
