I searched the forum but all I could find was info on replacing the entire cam sensors.

Last time I took my car into the dealership they told me my car was leaking oil from 3 places: the valve covers, the cam sensors, and the oil cooler o-ring. Over the last 2 months the leak has gotten progressively worse. I am not sure which of the 3 is causing the most issues, but I want to start by replacing the oil cooler o-ring and the cam sensors on my own. The question I have is since my sensors aren't spitting any codes, do I really need to replace the entire sensors, or can I just replace the seals?

Here are the part numbers I believe I need:
Oil Cooler O-Ring - 21304JA11A
Camshaft Sensor O-Rings - 221314M505

Thanks in advance.

if ur jus leaking oil then just replace the seals

 

The biggest one is the oil ring on the oil cooler where the oil filter screws on...

 

Be happy that's an easy repair u can do it

 

Thanks for all the responses. I was able to replace them last night, although I don't think replace is the correct word since there were no o-rings on the sensors when I pulled them out. I check to make sure they were not stuck on the engine side and they weren't.

I started up the car last night no problem, but this morning I had trouble getting it to start and when it finally did the check engine, slip and VDC off lights came on. Hooked up my scanner and it gave me code P0340 (Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Bank 1). I am hoping I just screwed it in crooked and didn't damage the sensor .

Plan on replacing the oil cooler seal tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help!

 

the sensors should have an o ring.
