Oil leak

Im trying to fix this leak but not sure what part it is do I need gasket or a oil seal? I think it is the camshaft position sensor housing?

The very end cap to the right has a rubber gasket if I remember correctly. But once you take off the end cap the top cap, with the two bolts you can see in the picture, doesn't use a gasket and is only sealed with a little bit of anaerobic sealant. This shouldn't really need done unless you have had someone do cam work.

Awesome thanks for the help. To find the part do I look for cam shaft end cap gasket?

That's just what I called it is the end cap I don't know the official terminology. I usually start with google and Rock Auto trying to find part numbers.
