A screw goes in that hole to help torque the front cover so you have no leaks. The hole right next to it (above the oil pump gear) is to cover the bolt that screws to the balance shaft and oil pump internal gear. If there is no cover for it it is going to leak even though the screw is there.

I have a cap screw on the one above the oil pump. However i dont have anything in the marked hole. Would oil come out of this? would you happen to know the torque specs for the front cover?

I do belive that you will have a leak if the hole has no bolt in it. On a 1990 to 1994 the torque for the front case bolts are 11-13 ft lbs. On a 1995 to 1998 the torque is 12 ft lbs (turbo) and 9 ft lbs (non turbo)
