[Shotimes] Mysterious Oil Leak

[clubairth@bellsouth.net]

JB:
 I would check the camshaft sensor seal. Put your hand under the camshaft 
position sensor. If there is any oil, it's either coming from the camshaft 
seal or your rear valve cover is leaking. A small telescoping mirror is very 
useful for looking under the camshaft sensor. The seal can be changed 
without jacking up the engine. It very tight but you can change it!
