Radiator has extra port?

My old radiator was cracked and i got an 88 T/A radiator and it has another port for a hose and it leaks when its half way full, its between the trans cooling lines and it must have been an extra for the 87 and up models. Does anyone know what it is for and if i can just block it?

Thank You

if it is a small port it was for a sensor to tell you the radiator was going empty. just block it off.
