I used the mirror and this special tool to pick that gasket (XR85431) out of there and replaced it with a new one. Btw.: see that big oval hole, which is revealed after removing the cover-plate - I replaced that gasket as well: It was very hard to find that P/N. A nice guy from Jagdaim helped me on the phone. The P/N is AJ88279.

The round thing is a mirror, which I used to see the rotten gasket in there.

Thus I got the second part off as well, but it was not possible to pull this part out of the engine block, nor could I turn it.

And a similar part sits right under this previous part... I guess normally you would be expected to remove the upper left engine block down to the head-gasket, just to be able to remove the second bolt there...!But I just managed to use a standard spanner - painful and time-consuming, but it beats the alternative.

After removing a whole lot of parts (incl. air-intake and fuel-injection-unit) you get access to that upper hose-flange-bit, which is screwed onto the engine block...

The old rotten back-plate, and the new one, which is kind of not purchasable anywhere - I was just lucky.

That flange for the hose was actually corroded thru at one point: A complete hole thru the material.

And a shiny air-intake to crown it all. I cleaned the part with wire-brushes of all kind and covered it with clear-coat (=better then new).

Engine block after cleaning. I had to rub off a lot of "magnesium-paste" off the cams: All that "liquified" magnesium, which came off the cam covers.

And another challenge on the left cam-cover as well: This breather hose also needs to be re-planted to the new cover: Carfully lift that little latch with a screwdriver and turn the whole thing anti-clockwise...

...and this is how to replant this breather hose: Carefully from underneath (after unscrewing a metal cover) you need to carefully press all 4 clips in simulaneoulsly to avoid damaging the breather.

So this is how bad it was: Oil leaking left, right and centre. Spark plugs and ignition coils drowning.
