Oil leak from cracked rocker cover

I was wondering if anybody out there has had problems with cracks in the right rocker cover. The area around the oil fill intake developed a 1/2 in crack and caused a messy oil spill.

I've been having a heck of a time tracking down a used rocker cover. All the recycler's engines seem to be missing this part, almost as if there has been a big demand for them.

I originally thought it was called the valve cover and that's what I ordered. When I recieved it, I saw that it did not have the oil fill hole. I then consulted my shop manual and found that the Nissan design has valve covers on the exhaust side (outer) and rocker covers in the inner side. In need the rocker cover that has the oil cap receptacle (right side).
