Ive got a slight leak on the top half of my m20, straightaway i replaced the rocker cover gasket thinking it was that but there its still losing oil.

I thought then that the only other obvious place would be the camshaft seal but then i saw these little buggers.

Anyonw know what they are, what they do and where i can get them?

BMW have plenty. Very common source of oil leaks, and there's two more at the back.

They're under the "Valve Timing Gear - Cam Shaft" section on the RealOEM site. Component is known as a 'blind plug'. You've probably sorted this by now but hope this helps others searching.. :)
