Its the blue one under the inlet manifold.

if anyone says it's easy to replace they are telling lies.

it's below the inlet manifold in the middle of the head. best to remove the manifold for better access, but unless you have fingers like ET, it aint easy.

As Smithy says, take the inlet manifold off, and use the opportunity to fit new intake gaskets.
