Thanks to all that replied. An update. Upon closer look the small hole was in fact rusted through. However, it seems as if a previous owner has glued the core plug. I've drilled a hole but the result was that I've ripped the metal to shreds. I also got the tip that i could hammer the side of the plug so that it'll twist, that only destroyed the metal more. So now I've had almost all of the metal removed and trying to get the rim out.

So I bought a set of replacements and replaced all of them. This was not particularly hard; most of work is removing and replacing the stuff in the way, like the manifolds and the water pipe. it would be foolish to replace just one, and have another one start leaking a few weeks later...
