oil cooler part ID 900

Hey guys,

I'm trying to track down a coolant leak on my wife's 1998 v90. coolant is dripping off the oil filter. Up top, I found a good leak at the thermostat housing. I replaced the t-stat and resealed with a light bead of grey permatex. Took it for an hour-long drive, and it's not leaking any more. went underneath the car and saw a little bit of wetness coming fro another part.

Let me know if you can help me ID this thing: right above the oil filter hookup, there's a little rectangular plate that's held in by two big torx bolts (their pointed toward the front of the car). My guess is that there's supposed to be oil behind that plate, and the coolant that I saw on there was probably dripping down from above. But it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

Please help!
