Default oil leak need gasket. Not sure what its called (pic inside)
I changed my valve cover and removed this thing. It looks like it bolts into the timing chin cover next to drivers side valve cover and has a plug. The gasket is shot as this is where my oil leak is coming from. Anyone know what this is called so i can order the gasket.

Can you zoom out on that a little? It may be a timing control solenoid valve.

Yeah its your Solenoid. I would use a metal gasket on that. I would recommend against RTV on that part. There is one on both sides.

that is not the VVT gasket. Those are at the front of the timing chain cover/valve cover. This is at the oil dip stick area.
