Default Question on newly acquired 11 LS460

Anybody have recommendations what this could be? This looks right next to oil cap and surrounding it.

Also how difficult is the high pressure fuel gasket leak to DIY?
​​The leak has started like 1/5 and no dripping but the gasket is slightly wet. The car, 2011 LS460 has 80k miles so should that be addressed asap?

Please, use search. Both were discussed in details, there is a number of threads about fixing high pressure pump leaks. The oil cap requires a seal replacement (and maybe a new cap), if I am not mistaken. It is a straight forward job. Use OEM parts if you don't want to re-do the job.

Thanks. I think I found em.

Also any idea how to acquire factory service manual or the equivalent? I know for the LS400 they were pdf circulating around. How about 460?

I got mine (electronic) on Ebay for around $70-80, it was totally worth it.

Anybody have recommendations for addining android auto the 11 LS460. Its non ML so if that makes things any easier. Seems Vine is the most recommended but lately people are complaining about the lag and inconsistent connectivity behavior. Any recommendations?

NAVIKS system has been brought up as an alternative. But no one here has reviewed it.
