120 series Oil leak around sump gasket area

Hi everyone, first time posting here, I have searched but am not finding much info...
I have a 2007 120 series D4D prado.
Question is I have noticed an oil leak around the top of sump, rear half of block area..
Possibly coming from this ( I assume is a crank shaft sensor BLANK!??) as it is a 1KD-FTV I believe, and their crank sensors are located elsewhere I am led to believe, so I’m assuming it’s a blank....?, Does this ‘blank’ have another name? (It’s tear drop in shape), see images attached.

Either leaking from that or it’s a sump gasket, which sounds like a major job, as I have skid plates underneath....

Vehicle has done 220,000kms

thank you, any info greatly appreciated

That will be where it’s coming from. Mine did the same thing. New oring fixes it.

ok thanks for that, hopefully it’s as simple fix as that.

changing O ring whilst oil is drained I’m assuming??

Don’t need to drain oil. Just undo the little bolt and pull it out. You can buy a kit from Toyota with the plug & oring or just go to a bearing shop & buy the oring.
