Default Cap/Plug, Cylinder Head 2.8

Have a 98 A4Q Avant 30v 2.8 and have some oil that drips from this cap and on the exhaust. Link to Cap

Was seeing if anyone know how to take this out, put one in, if it pops out etc.

I put some Rtv around it today seems to stop the dripping.

Thanks

I just had both of mine replaced do to the same problem. If it is the one on the drivers side it can be replaced without removing the cylinder head, if it is the one on the passenger side the cylinder head has to be removed to replace it. If you get this done it is a good time to get your cam seals done also. It is also a good time to get timing belt and water pump done. Your looking at around $2000 to $2500 if you have a garage do all of this.
