My L245 DT started spraying out engine oil on the right side of the block near the oil filter through a small round hole. I am trying to figure out what caused this. The oil light came on and I shut her down. I added oil to restart the engine but the oil ran out of the same hole. What do I do. Help Please.

The pressure sender is on the left side up at the rear corner of the head.
On the right side at the oil filter there's a relief valve and a safety valve as well (see pdf). Not sure why is has both. Are all of the parts there? Maybe the safety valve has failed open?

I recall reading a thread with a similar problem. There may be a small plug similar to a freeze plug that has fallen out of the hole. Search may be your friend. You may be able to find it on a parts diagram.
I recall that the fix was to glue in a shortened steel bolt or reinstall the plug if you can get it

Thanks for all your help. I talked to Kubota today, they ordered me a plug. I will let you know how things turn out. 
Do you know the part #? My dealer is having a tough time locating it.Thanks for all your help. I talked to Kubota today, they ordered me a plug. I will let you know how things turn out.
