toilet water valve

After flushing the pink stuff out of the water lines I noticed a leak coming from the top of the water valve only when I flushed the toilet. There is a hole right on top of the valve looks like its supposed to be there. Anyway I got a short bolt and pipe sealer and screwed it in and now no leak anyone have an idea what that hole was put there for.

    Vacuum breaker valve? Keeps the water line from sucking water from the toilet (in a bad event) into the water lines.

    No its a thedford toilet I made a 2in hole in the plastic above it so I could see in there and its just a 3/8 hole with no threads if you push down with a screwdriver its spring loaded what ever it's for.

    It sounds like a place a spray hose option attached . Might have had a block off that finally leaked . Does it have a spray hose now ? Just a guess.
