I just had mine replaced! Get this done ASAP. Oil can leak onto your belt / pulley / etc and cause major damage. I believe there are 2 gaskets you need to replace. It is DIYable if you have the tools and a few hours. I paid about $500 for parts and labor at indy shop.

Bad picture
I do not think it is the oil filter housing, this photo I took is at the bottom of the motor. It is at dealer now so the wait is on, any other ideas .

I thought that was the oil pan. But the black plastic looked like the oil filter cap. Threw me off. What’s a pad idler arm? Btw. If you have x drive. Oil pan gasket is a major job. Lots of suspension components have to be disconnected
