Default oil leak behind oil pan near drain plug or above oil pan...

Well, I've been watching and have narrowed it down a little.

Possibilities are:

Oil pan lower or upper seal

Drain plug (I don't think so)

Valve cover gasket

Little plastic cover on side of engine.....

What is the little plastic cover on the side of the engine block? It is about the size of a nickel, and is attached with one hex head bolt (looks like 8 or 9 mm). I think it might have an oring seal. WTF is it there for?
