Yes mine is above too. If I recall correctly it was sealed down with mastic to stop water ingress. Due to a design fault (in my opinion) the bloody thing was impossible to remove entirely with the lower plastic air box in place due the the flanges sticking up at the bulkhead end. If the gearbox cover had been fitted over flanges turned out from the bulkhead instead it would have slipped straight out making maintenance of parts underneath much easier.
