Hole under the hood

On the right side of the car, under the hood just above the wing there is a small 'hole' between the pieces of metal. A lot of dirt makes its way through there and I do not know if its my imagination or not but the engine noise, when inside the car, is a lot more in the right side..

So, are the rest of GPs like this and will it harm anything if I put something in it to clog it?

Here you can see what I am talking about:

Re: Hole under the hood

Had a look at mine and cant see anything like that! Looks like they missed out some panel putty? Or didnt weld it.... There are lots more people on here that know more than me so hold on and wait for the responses!

What's all that white stuff - or is that what you meant by dirt?
