    Dont know what hole you are seeing there should be a rubber cover under the air filter presuming its a front wheel drive.
    The oil filler is on the left as you look into the engine.
    Have you any pictures ??

    No pics, I seen the oil and took the air filter box out to see, and there was oil everywhere around the injectors and down front and side of engine the hole I'm referring to looks about 90mm in diameter at the back left on top and is open but looks like it should have a cover or something attached to it,

    Are you sure its 2.2 some of the 2.4 rear wheel drives had a space for a centrifigul oil filter on the left hand side of the rocker cover.

    You really need to put up a picture if you want an answer to this though.
