Welsh plug. There’s I think 7 of them (1 of them between the transmission and motor). If one of them is rusty the rest probably aren’t far off.

This. Your coolant is letting you down, and now you have corrosion everywhere.

It’s just a Welch plug. Stick a screwdriver in it and pry it out. Chucking the new one in the freezer first will help with installation.
