Different Oil Leak
 

I have a leak on the driver side. It is coming from just above the header where a wire goes into the head. It has a tin bracket that holds a black plastic piece that the wire runs through, it's held in the head with a 5/16 bolt.

I figured it's some kind of sensor or something. What is this and how do you get it out?

My apology for not knowing what it is.

I know a lot about drinking if y'all have any questions about that.

Thanks

That sounds like camshaft sensor. Cam shaft sensor has a no ring. I believe it's held in place with the sensor bracket bolted in with a 7 or 8 mm hex head.

Randy, bring some beer and come on over, I got a big tube of that black stuff we can stop any leak....:dancing

Yeah i figured it had an O-ring on it. I guess I didn't pry on it enough to get it to come out.

I'll give it another try after another drink of course. JK

Thanks

Cam sensor. Changed mine several months ago. With the bracket off just rotate it left and right while pulling outward. Next time ur down this way, stop by and we`ll change it. Got 200,000 btu`s to heat ya if it`s cold. We`ll swap stories on Jerry Johnson and Mike Austin.

Hey Richard, thanks for the offer. When I tried to get it out I didn't want to pry too hard. I'll try your technique.

I'm still planning on coming down to visit one day. I've been down to my sisters place a few times over the past several months, usually just helped with their place and headed home.

I put a new O-ring on my cam sensor and it's still leaking.

I felt up in the head and it feels like it's smooth in there.

Why does the sensor look like it has two places to put an O-RING?

I put the O-ring on the grove closest to the magnet end, is that correct?
