Ask for a timing cover seal, or go to a parts store that knows what the hell they are looking for.

try this, you may not have an Advance auto near you, but they should be able to cross reference the brand. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...lacement+Parts

Definitely will be the timing cover seal, many places will have it listed as that or a timing cover gasket set will include it also. They are available from almost any of the auto supply stores
