It'll be the timing chain tensioner cap bolt, that is on the side of the block, near and under the power steering pump bracket. It's a black bolt head and takes a 14mm socket (the others around it are 13mm/10mm). the o ring probably needs replacing, and the bolt itself will need new silicon to seal it properly.
