My vr6 engine is lightly weeping oil from a bolt cover on the left side of my engine, right up above the cat exhaust. Its not much nor is it dripping. Is anyone familiar with what this bolt is?

That should be the timing chain tensioner, tighten it up a little bit. Every VR6 leaks so that might actually be from the camshaft cover gasket. I've been driving leaky VR6's since 1992 and there is not really a good way to keep them sealed up long term.

Is it just a cap with a seal or would this adjust the cam chain tension? I cant seem to find this part on parts fische. Heres a better angle

It's just a cap.
