Default Part Identification - What is this?

There is a sensor or coil or something leaking on the top of the engine of my 2008 CX-9.
Can anyone tell me what it is? I've looked at all of the diagrams I can find and can't pinpoint the part name.
One photo is a close up of the part in question. The other is a view of the engine and the part's location is circled in red.

Thanks for your help

Looks like the oil control valve for the variable valve timing.
