Default Name of part?

Looking for the gasket for the piece next to the oil fill neck on the front valve cover that has an electrical connector--just wondering what the sensor is called and if I can still get the gasket

Thanks

The unit is called Variable Camshaft Timing Solenoid. The seal is replaceable. My questions is. Is the seal leaking? If so unless it damaged? If not your PCV (crankcase vent valve) is probably bad and the excess crankcase pressure is venting thru the seal.
