So I bought a new valve cover to replace my old one which I'm pretty sure has been leaking for a while now, but the new one has 2 ports on the back (1 large 1 small), and the old one only has 1. Is the smaller port supposed to be blocked off, on the valve cover I received it is not capped off or anything, and I don't think any of the lines on my 2007 Mini Cooper S will hook up to it. I'm guessing this might be a valve cover for both the N14 and N18 motors, with some mods to make it work for one or the other, but I'm not sure. Thank you for the help.

valve covers arent interchangeable!

 

I just found out that the 2nd port I was referring to, is supposed to be plugged with an included small cap. I guess it's not a port that's utilized in the U.S. cars, weird. Thank you for offering to help though. I'm going to look in the box and see if I got one of those small caps and if not, I will be purchasing one somewhere else.
