If it's really that gasket, -o-ring, actually- then you're looking at what's called a camshaft position sensor. Look for it in the service manual. See my sig line.

Ah, thank you so much - very helpful. I'll just add a tiny graphic here. I can't seem to find the "thank you" button on here...



Upon further investigation, it is a 2-drip-per-week-leak and it's either this part or the head gasket, in which case i'll try to fill the void with rtv from down undah on a non-driving day to see if that helps. The alternative is to spend approx. $2k for a tech to replace all the gaskets on the engine. And this doesn't sound too bad either, given the thought that everything would be replaced and visualized for further internal inspection.
