Assuming you use the mag post accy outside oil line like I use, it’s the bolt hole immediately to the left of the crankshaft & pully.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people.

The outside oil line I used required holes to be cut in the hogs head and the side of the pan near the front. I did all the work when the engine was apart for an overhaul. I added the oil line that allows an optional oil filter which has trapped lots of crap. My oil now stays clean. The oil filter that is used is actually one used for a hydraulic system. It does not have the check valve that regular oil filters have. The check valve adds too much restriction so that no oil will flow.
