New Guy with a ?

Hi,
Im new from Denver,Co. I have a 87' 4runner.
I bought it and it needed brakes and a clutch.
I did the brakes and got a MARLIN clutch goin in.

My question is there is an oil leak.
I dont know what to call it. I think oil flows through it?

is there a gasket that I can buy or do I just put black silicone stuff??

Here is pics.



THE LEAK.

pop in a new gasket.

thats the half moon  rubber plug 
remove the valve cover  to replace,  you can also pull it out, clean  and  put some rtv  on it

yea,the piece you think is leaking is not.That cast iron looking peice is part of the egr system.So no oil is flowing through it.Like 79 said,it is the half moon gasket in the head or the valve cover gasket itself.Just get a valve cover set and replace it all.

Cool thanks for the replies.
So I just buy this.



Thanks
