1980 cb750k small hole bottom of alternator side of engine

Hey guys, I'm new to the cb750 and am putting all my parts back together from strong down to the frame. I noticed on the right side of the engine there is a small hole on the bottom of the case right where the bottom bolt for the alternator cover bolts on. Should this be there or should I fill that in? The bottom alternator cover bolt is a larger size than the other two making me think the previous owner messed with it in a big way.

I pretty sure that is a drain hole for moisture to get out.
