That oil leak is near a tensioner. Have you had any work done on the car in the last few months or year?

I found out what it is after searching all night. It’s the crankcase vent valve. Might have to replace the whole line and valve.

You should replace the valve,(spring gets week) & inspect the line for cracks etc.

How in the world did you arrive at that diagnosis? I recognized that part immediately... as I've one waiting to be installed... for the last two years. (I've read it can be a challenge of patience to install).

Any work done in the last two years? Are we looking at the same picture? Do you see the dust devils?
