I wonder if it could be some sort of manufacturing hole that was once plugged but the plug popped out?

Because if that's not a breathing hole, what is it? Why is it there in the first place. It sure looks deliberate. I'll admit that it probably isn't a breathing hole - or any kind of hole that is supposed to be there simply becasue I can't imagine a breathing hole or open hole on a horizontal surface that doesn't have a way to exclude water and dirt. After all, breathing works both ways.

But whatever it is, it sure looks to be a deliberate hole, and it doesn't look to be threaded (or is it?). I suppose it could be a hole made in order to access a machine tool in order to machine some inside passage. That's not so unusual; castings often have that sort of hole made in the outer surface during the machining part of the manufacturing process. Holes in castings are later permanently sealed by either peening a ball into the hole .... or sometimes by threading the hole and installing a threaded bore plug - often a headless allen screw dipped in thread sealer.

Holes, don't just appear by magic; why is it there in the first place?

Well, replaced o rings; gaskets again even drained hydraulic, changed filter. Didn't work. Still spewing fluid through that hole. Does anyone know why it's there. All the diagrams show it but there is no reference. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm frustrated.

It looks like a defect in the part that has opened up, that isn't supposed to be there.
