Default what is this hole on b16

i need to know what goes in that hole next to the oil filter on the right side, it has threads in it, im guessing its a sensor but what happens is when i start to put coolant in my radiator it all leaks out this hole and the motor is a b16a2

actually to me, it looks like a freeze plug hole, if coolant runs through it.

The only man who knows what hes talking about.

There should be a washer and a short stubby bolt that plugs and seal it. Most blocks should have it intacted most of the time. If your missing it, go to Honda and buy a freeze plug bolt and washer. Doubt you can find it anywhere else.
