Hey guys
Discovered an oil leak down the front of the engine on the exhaust side.
(Made a big ol' mess).

Would this most likely be cam position sensor or vanos gasket related?
While cleaning up the mess I noted that VCG looked good. It was replaced about 20k ago.

Picture taken from below looking up:

Thanks!

I'll leave this up just incase anyone ends up searching in the future.

It was the cam position sensor o-ring that was bad.

Your pic didn't post. Can you repost it to help the next buddy with a leak on that side of the engine (kinda rare compared to the classic spots, OFHG and VCG).

Weird. Edited and uploaded rather than inserted now, hopefully it's working.
