Oil leak at the cam sensor.
« on: February 06, 2008, 11:22:00 PM »
I have an oil leak at the sensor for the cam gear on the upper front timing case cover. I replaced the valve cover, and front cover gaskets and cleaned everything up. After that the oil came back and I have narrowed it down to the sensor. There is no gasket or o-ring for it in realoem. Any body else have this problem or a solution?
