That's an access to the water jacket.
The water jacket, as some one else I think said, is very simply that part of your motor where coolant circulates. Technically, that would include the radiator, but the term is usually applied to just those parts of the block and head, and more particularly the block.
You could remove that panel for a look see, but it is probably so scaled/sludged up in there that you wouldn't be able to see a crack. For that matter, if you pull the pan and find water dripping, it may be from a crack that is too small to see or is simply obscured from view.
I think your best route is to gt the engine up to temp so that you have pressure in the cooling system, pull the oil pan as quickly as you can and look for any water coming down. If there is a leak in the water jacket, you will find water either seeping from the bottom of the water jacket (i.e., the flat area surrounding the piston sleeves/cylinders) indicating a crack in the block, or from the front, in which case it may be as simple as that freeze plug we mentioned below.
