yup, that whole lid if you like is the rocker cover. Unbolt that and you'll see a rubber seal going all the way around the outside of it to seal it closed and across around the spark plug ports to stop oil leaking out into the plugs too. New gasket is probably a fiver

Not being rude mate but please fix this properly as someone who rides motorbikes on the road cars leaking oil are a serious danger and to do so when you know its leaking is irresponsible. If i crashed on oil from your car id be pretty pissed off.

This has happened to me before on a diesel spill and its a pain in the arse so fix it properly and dont endanger peoples lives
