leaking oils

What is this part called? Is it the vtc solenoid? It is by the chain side, right next to the left engine mount (passenger side). I see lots of oil residue around the area. If I'm not mistaken, there is an O ring in there that can be replace or should I replace the unit itself?

Here is a diagram that may help: 2016 TLX Sedan 24TECH (2.4) DCT | VTC Oil Control Valve - Bernardi Parts Acura

I assume you have a 2016 4-cyllinder.
Thank you!. Yes, it is a 4 cylinder...forgot to mention that lol. Since it leaking oil, would it be better to replace just the oil ring or the whole unit itself? The car does burn oil, poor gas mileage. Does that VTC contribute to it?
Thanks NDVN. Yes, I change the oil change around every 5k miles, and refill on avg 1.5 qt before the next oil change lol. I searched for instructions after you helped with the part name, and will be giving it a try to see if the solenoid is working or not and then order the right part for it.
