it's an oil baffle. It keeps oil from being flung up the filler neck by the crankshaft.

If the gasket is not replaced/sealed at the base when reinstalled it will leak oil onto the engine galley.

Even if it is replaced it will start leaking again within a couple of years.

Use some sensor-safe sealant like yamabond or hondabond or right stuff. It won't leak anymore.

It is a strange design for a gasket. I had to fabricate a S4 gasket as I could not find one for MY 85'. I also used permatex gasket sealer. So far dry but time will tell.

Be careful of Yamabond/Hondabona that stuff is a real bitch to remove esp. from a oil pan gasket. Ask me how I know.

FWIW, I've heard good things about Carl's replacement baffle.
