Brian,

As Paul said, the NACA inlet on the side of the cowling is for the 914. 
According to Andy Draper, for 912S it should be closed  off (if you don't 
use it for e.g. fresh air inlet to the cockpit), because otherwise the air 
through it "competes" with the cylinder cooling air (coming in at the front) 
in getting out through the rather limited outlet areas in the back and thus 
reduces the cylinder cooling.

Regards,
Svein
