Today I noticed that my water stream was not super strong like usual, but still steady. Then my overheat alarm went off. Shut it off, then started it up a couple more times to try and diagnose. Water was flooding the inside of the cowling. Then I saw it was coming from the side of the motor with the oil filter. There is a hole that looks like it should be plugged. I found a small metal plug looking thing in the bottom of my cowling but I cannot grab it. I assume that was press fit in there? Not sure what that is for or how I would replace. There are no threads on either piece. Water gushes out this hole. Thoughts?

Looks to me that should be plugged. Most likely it was and the plug blew out
