Open oil gallery plug

My car is a Toyota Tercel 1987 DX Wagon with 3A engine.

I have noticed a open oil gallery plug at the rear aspect (covered by the bell housing) of the engine block.

There is a small oil leak in the engine.

Could it be the cause?

Should I add a plug to it?

Re: Middle fork shift shaft doesnt move.

Problem is that it moves few milimeters. That is not enough for even to move the fork. Those gears were working before I disassemble it.
