Default Can anyone tell me what this is?

Does anyone know what this cover is called and what it covers on the 2016 3.0 Supercharged? Here is a photo with the cover circled in yellow. I was wondering if there is a gasket as I have a little tiny drip of oil coming from the bottom of this cover and would like to stop the leak. I've circled it in yellow. Thank you in advance!! I've posted it in multiple models as the 3.0SC should have the same components on every model.

Thanks to someone on a different model I found what I was looking for. It's the vacuum pump that the seal commonly fails on. It's usually the main one. It looks easy to replace and here's a video if you would like to replace all the seals!

Yes well known problem with dozens of threads on it. The nice thing is it's usually the O-rings and they are not hard to replace. Probably the best tip is unless the front of the car is elevated you will lose some engine oil when you take the cover off. Or replace the O-rings when doing an oil change.

Thank you for the reply. I plan on fixing the problem with my next oil change. I guess I'll do it from the bottom this time. I usually suck the oil out from the top. I'll change the oil pan plug while I'm at it too I guess. I'm just thankful the pump job looks simple!
