Don't worry about it - it's supposed to be blanked off. Yours is a later vehicle (as mine was) that is configured slightly differently to the earlier ones that did use that particular connection. Go to the D2 Boy's Club website if you need more info on this. Loads of good (and correct) info on there.

Just fit a new blanking cap. However, be aware that it's really awkward to get to and the part is ridiculously expensive.

Exactly as Hector Vector has said. It's not used on the later TD5 (15P) engine. It should be blanked off, but over time the cap perishes and leaks. It's an easy fix. Either buy the genuine hose blanking piece, or just fit a bit of short hose with a home made plug in the end, that's what I did three years ago and it's not leaked since :-)

Look for the blanking plug for the unused water take-off on the oil cooler housing. The part number is PYB500040. Pattern parts are very expensive for what it is. The genuine LR part is absolutely stupidly expensive. Just do an internet search on the part number!!! Do as matgriff says and improvise your own. It's not under any great stress so it's easy enough to do.
