HELP! Car leaking oil!
Hey guys. I drove my car a little hard tonight, though nothing too out of the usual and noticed an odd smell when I put on the defroster. Smelled kind of like oil. I popped the hood and there was OIL sitting on the bottom area below the pulleys and hoses and whatnot (whatever that is called). It was also dripping oil from the undercarriage several feet back from the front end of the car from one particular spot. I drove home to take a better look and found oil down my exhaust for most of the way back to the muffler. I also found a couple of pieces in my engine bay, which obviously freaked me the f*ck out. it is still leaking oil and i cant go to any shops until monday since they are all closed. i found a couple of parts, but these two had part numbers on them. can someone PLEASE help me find out what these are? i searched everywhere on google and on this forum for them but to no avail.
A 203 988 01 27 (harder plastic piece with what looks like 3 semi circles. looks like it should clip on somewhere)
A 112 09402 82 02 6412 7 >VMQ
-not sure about the spacing of the numbers on that. it is difficult to distinguish where the spaces are. this piece is a softer and flexible rubber piece.
sorry i dont have a camera. your help would be greatly appreciated. someone mentioned i could have messed up my valve cover or valve cover gasket or something? idk. f*ck

I don't see how the "part name" helps, but 2039880127 is a "grommet" with an MSRP of $2.20. No idea where it goes Regardless of the spaces, "112 09402 82 02 6412 7" is too long to be a valid part number. Even after I shortened it to ten digits, 1120940282 is not a part number that I see listed.

My valve covers on both sides were so bad that i thought the valve cover gasket was busted, but it was just these little recirculating covers ontop. It leaked all over and got all over my exhaust and wires...
Id clean everything down then drive it a little bit and check to see where all the oil is coming from...
