Dan,
I have spent a lot of time working with Ferrets in the past, but your photo taken from underneath mislead me at first, but I am sure this is the drain plug. In this case, I would be worried as it may not have had any oil in it.
Rob has said that it looks like a dowel plug which indexs the internals, well unless there are differences in Canadian Ferrets, I doubt it as there are two long dowel pins in the back of the bevel box which engage with the inner tracta housing which slides in on them. Any movement of the suspension allows the inner tracta to move slightly on these pins.
