Is this a lube port on my Tatula CT Type R?

I believe that's a drain hole.

A lube port would be large enough to put a small paintbrush in. This allows you to put grease on your gears. Small holes like that are mostly for a drain. But I'm not a Tat specialist.

Unfortunately, some anglers believe these holes are for dumping oil into and that's very bad for your reel. You will end up with oil on your drag components and trash them. Which I know if you drop oil into that hole on the tat, it will trash your drag.

That has been my experience. It's a drain as far as I know.
