Thats a cam plug, its aluminum. Should be able to get to it by doing the valve covers.

Mine is not popped, but it is leaking onto the header and causing some smoke. I'm pretty much certain that is the source of the oil because I've changed the VCG's. It hits right on the header at the back of the engine.
