BMW E90 320d - Name that part (help!)

king_of_inismac

Hi all,

I've found a small crack in the plastic casing of my engine.

Just between the top of air filter housing and the oil breather. Oil is weeping out through this crack.

I know it'll take a lot of ripping to fix, but can anyone tell me the part number/name of this piece?

It's basically the large plastic piece of the engine that the oil breather housing bolts onto.

Thanks,
M

P.s. its a 2005 model

Thanks.

Pic attached. It's not the bit circled (I took the pic from another forum). It's the piece marked "This".

I wonder if it's just the rocket cover?
