Cleaning up to identify leaks. What is this.
I spent an hour today scrapeing the heavy crusty oily grime off the bottom of my engine and the oil tank.
Trying to clean it up some so I can identify the leaks. I came across this plug or screw. It is located just aft of the Oil Cooler. What is it?

Oil pressure relief, there is another one on the other side too, harder to get too though.

Thanks for the quick answer. What is the purpose and should I be doing anything maintenance wise with these?

Unless you have oil pressure problems, just leave things alone. If you create too much pressure in the system this relieves the pressure.
