Q: My SUV is leaking oil
I have noticed that my SUV is leaking oil on the garage floor, so I jacked it up and took a look. I wiped off what appears to be a cam shaft speed sensor next to the oil filter, and it kept pooling and moved a little when prodded. Does it have a gasket, and why is there oil coming from it? I don't have my socket set with me so I will remove the skid plate later and look some more. But, what could this be?
