Oil on the driveway

Spots of oil on the driveway. Looks like transmission oil. Go to dealer. It is transmission oil. The transmission housing and the axle seals are wet with it. It is not coming from the seals however. After searching, the technician finds a neat machined hole in the very top of the transmission housing. It is supposed to be plugged with a tapered nylon bung, but the bung is hanging out of the hole. The fix is easy; put bung back in, clean up, check transmission fluid level; they do not even charge me for the work.
The questions however are: what is this hole for, what would cause the bung to be displaced, is there a source of pressure, is there a vent hole somewhere that should be cleaned? Any ideas will be appreciated. (PS The hole is right on top; it is not the drain hole or fill hole for transmission fluid. This is a yr 2000 9-3 coupe)
