I have a leak from the transmission on my 62 that looks like it's coming from the spot above the nut that I marked with an arrow. Feels like there's a hole in there with either mud of soft cork like material.

I did a fluid exchange on the transmission a
Few weeks ago and this spot seem to be leaking.

Is it an overflow hole? Is there suppose to be something in that hole? Or should i clean it up completely?
