B16 head plug - Where would I find this? Is there a replacement?
So I went and started my car and realized oil was pooring our everywhere. Shut it off and realized there was a threaded hole on the head it was coming from. I need help finding this plug or even what it’s called. Here’s a picture of what I need.

Yeh made a huge mess. Only reason I’m messing with it is the machine shop forgot to put it back in. Hopefully motor isn’t hurt. Ran it for about 15 seconds before I realized all the oil was under the car. Should be fine.

Long term engine damage is unlikely if you only ran it for 15 seconds... the puddle on the ground will look giant but it is likely that only a quart or two got pumped out... leaving at least two or three quarts to lubricate the engine... at least the bottom end anyway. You can check the cam journals for galling... if they look good, you should be fine.
