    It's just plastic that is held in place by a thin bent over metal lip.
    I had mine on my town&country leak. What a mess! The whole engine would get covered
    in oil. Inexpensive and easy to replace. It was clean and oil free after that!

    It's trickier on the Prius because it's hidden...
