If you go in water that gets up there, especially muddy water then it'll damage the timing belt. So to go wading you need to fit a blanking plug and either remove it after wading or on a regular basis in case it is actually keeping oli in there that might contaminate the belt.

The one on the bellhousing is supposed to stop the clutch from getting drenched.
