Identify Part(s) & solution for oil leak

Found an uncommon oil leak from the back of the engine a seal, hoping I can remove the plug and replace seal without purchasing a whole assembly.
pls advise if you know the specific part # and best solution. Thanks fam!

I do not have the part # just chiming in with common leaks that I've had before or have heard about on MBs. Both are in that area round about. The cam plug and centrifuge cover/plug are common areas that leak and on an NA engine they can be easy to replace. I've heard it's much more expensive and difficult on a turbo but I'm not 100% sure.

I know a replaced plug was roughly $270 at the dealer for my E550. Not sure if this helps any. Hopefully someone else can help you and point you in the right direction.
