    Oil leaking from rocker cover

    Hi I have discovered an oil leak from a hole in the rocker cover on my P38 1996 2.5DT There appears to have been a bolt in the hole at some stage, possibly holding a bracket or something? Should I just plug it? Hoping someone can point me in the right direction!
