Hey does anyone know what this "plug" here goes to? and how I would repair it?

Also what is this radiator thing? it goes from radiator to overflow container.

Its a cam blind cap. You can get a new one from the dealership, not sure about from parts stores though.

Why is there a screw where the cam cap is supposed to go? Jimmy rigging at its best?

Is that the technical term to ask for at the dealer?

What is the offical name for that part? and what does it do?

now that I think of it, i think kragen has it, its a universal thing, so you would need to know the size of it, and just hammer it in.

is this correct??

The part where oil is leaking from that looks like a cap and is right behind the timing belt cover.

item #6

Maybe we're talking about different things... I'm talking about the "radiator thing" you asked about.

Its cool, thats what I'm talking about when you responded. So now that I figured out what unknown part #1 is. Can anyone tell me what the name of the part that connects the radiator to the overflow tank? the black thing w/ a cap on it.
