Careful; sometimes that are marks in the block casting that sort of
resemble plugs.  Before taking drastic measures to remove one, you
might want to check a parts book or a good catalog (e.g. TRF or Rimmers)
to see if they show an actual part in that location.

I remember going crazy trying to unscrew that I thought was a grease
plug from a steering gearbox, only to find that is was noting but a
round depression with a slot in it...
