nope just undo all the bolts, just dont ramp them up when you refit it, or it will leak or crack the sump. If you can get a torque wrench that goes down as low as 5Nm use that. Ideally you should fit a new gasket etc too.

Are you talking about the hole in the block? Not the head?
If so, then the plastic cap would have fallen into the sump. Its easy to get to, especially if you follow the haynes manual. Drain the oil, unbolt the sump, take out baffle plate and poss oil pick up pipe, find cap, refit baffle/pick up pipe, fit new gasket and sump, thread lock and torque up sump bolts.
Simples.......
