Default Urgent: Need your input

I know that this thread may belong to the engine section soon but I just need the highest exposure right now because I need urgent help. I got my car from the dealer last night. This morning, I reset the ECU because the symptoms are still there. I noticed on top of the engine (picture below) what seems like a spot -- actually a screw hole -- where an old part may have been previously attached. It is shiny and seems to have been in use before. My question is, may I ask if you can check your engine for me and see if this area looks the same in my picture or if there's something attached to it. If different, I need to let the dealer know that something is missing ASAP. Thanks much!!

I believe that thread is so that a hook can be adapted for those major repair jobs where engine needs to be lifted. Pray that it will never be used!
