Oil leaking in 1998 Camry XLE

Check my car (1998 Camry XLE) this morning and note that there are some oil leaking in the part (see the pictures). I have no idea about what the part is. Is it difficult to fix it?

It looks like you have a leaking cam cover gasket. It is not difficult to fix, but given your obvious limited automotive knowledge, you might be better off taking the car in to a pro to have it fixed. It's about $20 for the gasket, plus 1 hour of labor. The labor will depend on the labor rate of the repair shop. Either that, or find a friend to help you do this. It really is an easy repair, but you will need a 30MM socket and a torque wrench to get the proper torque on the 4 large nuts that hold the cam cover on.

Incidently, you have a 4 cylinder 5SFE engine.
