[Alberg30] 2GM20F Oil Blow-out

[Voyager Toronto]

I've completed installation of a 2GM20F; when I cranked the engine for the 
first time, it spilled a mess of oil from what turns out to be an unplugged 
threaded hole near the lube-oil filter, behind and partially hidden by the 
engine foot. As the manual refers to pump-out when doing an oil-change, I 
presume this is not a drain hole shipped to me without the plug. I can see 
what I take to be the oil-pressure sender near and in front of the lube-oil 
filter (towards the front of the engine) with it's wire lead, so I presume 
this hole is not for a missing sending unit. The manual does caution not to 
overfill with oil as the excess may blow out of the "breather". Is this the 
"breather" hole? If so, something is wrong because the engine was not 
overfilled, and oil continues to blow out when the engine is cranked even 
the oil level dipstick showing below maximum fill. Does any 2GM20F owner 
have any experience with this? What's this hole, what's my problem, and how 
do I solve it?
Thanks,
Calvin, Voyager #30.
