In the attached picture, just below the breather tube hose is a red capped port on my YIO 540. Anyone know what I should be doing with it?

I"m a little disoriented. Is that the tach drive port?
If so, you'll use it if you have a mechanical tach; if electronic tach, you'll need to cap it off. AC Spruce sells a suitable cap.

That's for the oil temp probe.

My YIO-540 came from Lycoming with an angled port in that same position and there was no documentation of what to put there in the plans. After much discussion with Lycoming and Vans it was decided it was an incorrect part that should be a flat hexagonal plug with no port, and Vans sent me a replacement part to put there. My oil temp probe went further back, in front of the oil filter.

.. you are correct sir!
Here's the note I just got back from Vans:
"Well, this has lead us on a merry search. It turns out that Lycoming shipped us a few IO-
540s with this male fitting installed. SIX YEARS ago. We don't know why, and it was only a
few engines we received in 2008.
However....Gus remembered this (I have no idea how) and found a plug in his drawer that
you can install. I'm sending it to you tomorrow morning."
