cam covers:


like their name, they are covering the camshafts.
as you can see in the picture, the cover is the part Wayne is holding in his hand.
if you have a leaking cover, you have to remove it and reseal it.
it could be a DIY project if you have the right tools.
you can read more about it here:

i also recommend you to buy Wayne's book. very helpful:
