Timing belt cover hole

On the black timing belt cover on a classic Impreza has anyone ever have a hole, about 5p sized, that seems to have been punched through from the inside? (near battery)

cheers,

Woka

It's on the ramps at RH as we speak.
Won't know the official diagnosis until Tuesday.
I was just curious if anyone had seen this before.
Engine seems to run fine.
