    thats the cam carrier. and it has no gasket.. it uses special LR gasket goo to seal it to the top of the head. how do i know??? i fixed this leak on mine. mine was really bad at the rear of the engine.
    i filed both surfaces as there was pre assebly burs that didnt help with sealing, and i used loctite 510

    if you wanna do that job ( i know you wont) dont worrie about it yet. mine had oil running down the rear, that i thought was causing my clutch flare.

    cheers phil

    thats better new than I expected, the damn thing has always had a hint of a leak since new and when you eye ball the join it appears misaligned, and your right, someone else wil be doing the job.
