leak

I've got a small oil leak. it looks like it is coming from that plastic thing under the ficm over the valve cover .
my question is what is that plastic thing.

got a picture? the only thing that I can think of between a ficm and a valve cover is a wire harness.

thats the pcv box. there are 3 or 4 o-rings that seal that to the valve cover. I would check the boot/hose that comes off the front of the turbo that goes down to that box.
i have never seen one, i have however seen lots of the pcv tubes crack and leak.
