Manifold Usable?

I recently purchased this manifold due to my old one getting warped. Or so I suspect. At any rate, I was looking at where the manifold meets the engine and I saw what seemed to be a cloged passage. Coolant maybe?

Any ideas? Is it usable? And if it is, how do I go about cleaning it out without damaging this manifold. Thanks.

I assume that is for a turbo right? If you were to divide that manifold in half the side that you gave us the pic for there is no hole and on the other side there is a hole. This is for the turbo's coolant. There is only one hole and its not in that spot you showed in the picture. This is completely fine, no worries .

Oh ok, yes it is for a turbo'd car. I just thought it was weird that only one side would have a hole, and it seemed that right where there would be a hole symetrically on the other side ther was none, besides the outline of a hole. I'd have to double check but I was sure my gasket had a hole there as well...maybe thats what caused the outline?

the open hole is the water line to the turbo. turbo has one water line. therefor only one hole is needed.... other one is blocked. off.
