What is this?
« on: 02 February 2016, 08:49 »
Cleaned it up a few times, but this sensor or whatever it is is leaking oil over time. I can't figure out what it is and non of my car mates can work it out either.  Is it the cam sensor? Btw the pipe is an aftermarket intake.

That is the electronic actuator for the variable inlet cam timing!  :nerd:
