Default Need to plug a -10 AN oil return

I tapped the side of my oil pan with a -10 AN fitting for an oil return and it looks like the location that my turbo plumbing runs, I won't be able to get a fitting on it. I can probably do a timing cover return, but need to address the hole in my oil pan. Do they sell "caps" that I can put on this male -10 AN fitting that will reliably keep it sealed? Or am I gonna hve to go through the hassle of swapping out oil pans?

Or you can weld the hole.

Thanks. The description on many of those caps talked about "keeping the engine clean while moving or storing it", which come to think of, is probably more common of a use....but just wanted to make sure.

Unless you tapped the pan for a straight/o'ring fitting, all you need is to remove the fitting and put a pipe plug, with some thread sealer on it, in the hole..
