Different Oil Leak

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?

That is the way I have it on one on the shelf...."O" ring where you suggest
Maybe thicker "O" ring is required. I would say nothing wrong with using two "O" rings.

On the Cam Sensor....Groove diameter closest to the collar is .710 diameter and .10 width.
Groove closest to end is .710 diameter and .095 width but that measurement may be the same as width of first.
The OD each side (and between) the "O" rings is .807 and the ID of the bore in the Head is .810. The Diameter of the main body of the Cam Sensor is .740.

I got the camera.

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.

could be a header stud leak with the oil finding its way down the wire

Help, I don't know what is happening but I put a new O-ring on the sensor and it still leaked. I put 2 O-rings on it and a small bit of silicone, on the flat surface that meets the head, and it still leaked. Someone had put silicone around the wires where they enter into the sensor. Do you think it could be leaking from where the wires enter the sensor? I figured if it was leaking there the sensor wouldn't be working. I would give up but I can't stand even a small leak.
