CKP sensor

[mikedalcollo]

CKP dont leak oil, ever (oh but sure, looks like it, ) G16b engines post 1995 year. have CKP, with special pump and pan.
it's on the dry side. Any seal there is only a dust seal.
proof


it has a large pan hole there, that has no seal. it dont need one, ever. the pan sealant, there seals this pan hole up, and really never leaks, there, unless molested, (day 1 its RTV seal in factory)
what does leak, are. in no order.
1:front valve cover gasket seal.
2: cam seal or its clamp,messed with or is clamp bolt loose.
3: crank seals
4: pan seal
5: pump seals, , all 5 on the wet side.

what i do is drive with the front cam cover off. oops, now see truth.
is the front crank cog, 17mm large bolt at 94ft/lbs, if loose that be it. this is my day 1 ownership check. on all G16s, made.

pull cover
clean it all out,
drive 1mile or less, just idle it, in your case, its SIV status.
bam hard proof or needs UV dye test if its pan or pump leaks.

My CKP sensor is leaking oil like siv, i can watch it comin outa there at 2,000 rmp, it literally drains it on the freeway.
My ? is will i have to replace the oil pan gasket as well? Was thinking about putting RTV on the bolt n threading it through....but better i ask rather than be sorry later.

gravity and front under cover, is why this is so hard.

i just RTV sealed the pan in this photo, there is no gasket (and 24hr cured it)
if you put a gasket there the CKP GOES< NUTS>!!!!

the VC also leaks at rear and the distributor (valve cover = VC)
and vast posters think the rear mains seal leaks
and is NOT.
huge wasted labor, for the top 2 fails.

OK, I have replaced the RTV seal on the distributer because I had oil on back of the engine were it meets the tranni and welll...your awesome site told me to look there first. That was the case late last year, I think OCT r NOV. No more leaking.
Took a trip to sacramento from reno Jan n had leaking oil in the front...bad...(was spraying all over cause it was getting on belts)..ok timing cover off ya clear as day...crank seal leaking. So replaced with technics from your awesome site, No more leaking.
Brings us to now, I had helper hold gas while i watched nd it looked like it is coming out of the middle of the plug...pulled it... and on the inside of the actual sensor itself (not the wire from the harness side) the right prong has oil were it meets the plastic like its oozing from that spot. So thats why I would think that that is the cause.
The timing belt cover is dry, so not thinking the cam seal, i'm going to check anyway now that I have a little advise.
Thank you for the quick response n all your help
