Question Where does this go???

I found this rubber part under my '91 S2 today.
Anybody know where it goes???
The diameter is approximately 40mm
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Looks like the plug that goes into the inspection port on the bell housing.

When I went under the car, I saw what I thought was the inspection hole on the clutch bell housing but I could not get the plug in.
The surface of the bell housing is a complex curve (stepped) and I do not see how this rubber plug would stay in even if persuaded.
When looking in the inspection hole, I see the gear that the starter motor engages. The exhaust pipe runs below the opening.

Is this where the plug should go???
Can I assume this plug is not that important???

Thanks again!

PAsone, check the distributor and surrounding housing, you should see a gaping hole that looks like it should be plugged, by the way if you find another one, send it my way I need one.

Unhappy

Thanks for the suggestions but I could not find any hole near the distributor and I was not able to get it to fit in the hole on the bell housing.

Any other ideas or should I just wait for my next visit to the shop?

Is it a problem if the bell housing inspection hole does not have a plug?
