Oil leak resolved

Just to update the group, my previous post I had a small oil leak which the dealer said was a timing chain cover leak.

I cleaned the engine and watched for the leak and it ended up to be a solenoid cover gasket had failed. $20 part. Dealer said repair would cost me $900.

Leak was driver side engine above oil drain plug.

Does anyone have instructions on how to replace the solenoid? The wire runs behind the engine which I can't reach. I need to unhook it to slide the cover plate gasket on.
