I have cleaned the area and went to the local workshop. They diagnosed and said that the oil was leaking from here I don't know what that part is called I am providing a picture with marking). I know it is not from the tappet cover it's from the part next to it looks like a box cover black and behind is something fishy. I am providing a picture. Help me what that part is and how to fix that!

Hi,

There is a breather hose there that can allow oil to leak. I copied your pic and circled the hose. See if that is where it is leaking from.

Let me know.

Any other possible thing around this area that can lead to a leak?

I believe there is an oil separator at some point, but I believe the intake manifold needs to be removed to access it. Could you get a closer pic of the box? Also, check to see if there is a part number listed anywhere on it.

Let me know.
