I am pretty sure that is the vent. If you plug that you will get oil leaks. Best thing to do is what BMW do, I know bear with me here, on the HP bikes and run a tube from there up high on the bike. That way it can vent without spilling fluid on rough washboard stuff.
But I wouldn't plug it up.

You could buy a replacement...the part # is 2H7–17590–00 $12 from bike bandit.
and definitely vent...go ride a bunch of washboard and th pumpkin will look a mess from gear oil being vented out.

Run a tube from there up under the seat and your good for water crossings.

You would have to take off the cap, then tap a fitting into the hole into the top. I am not sure how the actual vent comes out of the differential, i do have one on order from the local dealer, under twenty dollars. I will see then how to install.
Could you just run the vent hose down from the diff.

I was wiping the bike down after a wet ride and twist the top of the vent, its spot welded to the lower tube. Its cad plated steel not aluminium with .0005 press fit into the housing.
Mine is now aluminium I was going to route a breather hose up under the seat but no matter which direction or material you use its subject to being ripped off.
The vent cap is the best option I am sure this one was kicked around the engineering Dept in Japan for awhile.
