Greg, my water pump has a similar hole.  It does look like the casting is
broken out and ragged.  I've seen others like that and I've often wondered
why it was made that way.  My pump has been pumping for years with that hole
and nothing has ever come out of it.  No grease is necessary.

Dan,

Sorry, I should have been more explicit.  My water pump doesn't have a plug.
It's got a hole. It's on top and rather ragged looking, almost as if it were
a flaw in the casting. I can see into the pump between the pump and pulley
bearings. 

I originally thought it was bad and ordered a replacement and there's that
same hole.  

I guess I should put some greese in it. The whol;e is on top so I guess
it'll stay.

Greg
