So i have had this car for a little over a month and i finally got a chance to really check out a oil leak i have. I have traced it down and it seems to be coming from my cam position sensor (at least thats what i think it is). the picture isnt my car so sorry to whoever i borrow it from. But there seems to be oil coming out of there. anyway i took that off and there is oil all over it, so i took the valve cover off and cant really get to it without taking the cams out it seems, anyone have any ideas to why this would be leaking?
thanks
ryan
 
There is an O-ring inside of that sensor when you un-bolt it from the block, change the o-ring and RTV around that sensor.
 
Thanks talonesit, i cleaned it out pretty good. There was a whole bunch of build up, didnt change the o ring but got it all cleaned up, so if i will probably go back and change the ring.
