[D55168 Compressor Leaking - Plug Blown Out?]

I found a few pics of the bottom of the tank. It's definitely a rupture from what I can see. Crap, no cash for a new compressor either.

Thanks. I bought it new from Home Depot, so I doubt it's a repair unless they did it at the factory to correct a production flaw. Maybe someone can post a pic of theirs for comparison. I can't find any online.

[D55168 Compressor Leaking - Plug Blown Out?]

I have a D55168 compressor that has blown a plug of some sort from its bottom. It was pressurizing yesterday and I heard a small puff sound and then a loud discharge of air. Looking at it, it appears that a rubber or plastic plug may have blown out. I couldn't find anything that might have come from the blow out but it does look like something was attached at some point. Now there is about a 3/16" hole with some paint removed around it. See pics. Can someone me tell what's going on? I thought about plugging it with epoxy but I'd rather do it right if it can be repaired.
