Start with getting new gaskets for the reed blocks and intakes. I always use a very thin film of oil and heat resistant RTV on both sides of each gasket. So do that with the intake and reed gaskets and do another leakdown. If it leaks from that hole again, take pictures of the bubbles. Also use shorter screws so they don't contact the cylinder again.

That "divot" is the end of where they drilled to make intake bolt holes. It stops right there. If the nut was torqued properly the base gasket would seal ( As much as they normally do, I always use some kind of sealant on base and intakes) could it still be there, yes. More than Likely, it's the Reed gasket and sealing that, will stop it from traveling down that threaded hole, and out of that "divot". Tho it looks like he has it tore down, the reed gasket is easier to fix & retest.
