Oil leak

I'm getting an oil leak on that part above the dipstick, under the intake manifold. What is that part called so I can get a new gasket for it? Not the oil filter base, it's infront of that

Not the oil filler cap, it's underneath the intake manifold. Your last post was about turbo or something

I'd post a picture, but for some reason the site won't let me.

It's on the driver side directly above the dipstick tube

You are getting me frustrated..it is the end of the passage where the oil filler cap leads to the engine....there is an o-ring seal there...it is leaking. Try tightening up the 2 nuts first...they often get looe..otherwise remove the UIM and replace the o-ring...or add some RTV to seal it up
