Default 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.

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

I got the O-ring from Jerry's Gasket, I'm assuming it's correct.

I looked locally for a O-ring and all the parts store O-ring's were thicker.

I'm thinking of trying 2 O-rings and maybe a little silicone on the flat surface of the sensor.

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.
