Mitsu part number MD184946 - Cylinder Head Camshaft End Seal.

Replacement should be pretty straightforward: remove the valve cover, loosen the cam cap, pop the old seal out, clean the surfaces, put a very light layer of RTV around the rim of the new seal, reinstall the cam cap and valve cover using the proper torques. Allow the RTV to cure and that should do it.
