Default Excessive oil on cam position sensor

Hi gentleman , how much oil is expected normally to leak out from the cam seal and into the cam position sensor area, Im throwing an intermitant code for cam sensor
there is a seal on the cam sensor , where does the excess oil go ? also how huge a job is it to replace that cam seal, all i see info for is the front seal at the belt end . there must be a cam seal on the position sensor end of the cam. thanks gentleman , Bob

Welcome to the 2nd Gen Neon forum.

I don't know the answer to your cam sensor replacement. Might be helpful to know the year/model vehicle you have. You can go here https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ml#post3259651 & select a link for the year FSM = Field Service Manual for your vehicle. Then log in Here & Google to view or download the FSM, or part of it your interested in. Let us know how it goes.

You want no oil leaking from it. The cps sensor seal is easy to replace but If you just want the seal (a oring) you will need to order it online because auto parts stores only sell it with the sensor. It is just two 10mm bolts and you unplug the sensor and your set!
