Default New help with a Cam Sensor O-ring

In the process of pulling the headlight out I noticed a new oil leak on Bank 2. I am worried because is is below the level of the valve cover gasket. The concentration of grime appears to be around the cam position sensor which is number 20 on the diagram below.

I have looked around on Nemings/ETKA and can't find a part number (or the relevant drawing).

I would appreciate a part number or size as I would like to pretend it is not the cam girdle seal itself and try this first.

Thanks



O-ring at number 20

I had previously replaced all the VVT orings. I recently needed to replace my leaking alve cover gaskets and decided to replace the oring you referenced. I ended up getting an oring pack from Amazon.
Amazon Amazon
. I replaced both cam sensor orings with one from the variety pack. The VVT orings don't last very long so now I have a ready supply when needed.

Ok. I actually have one of the metric o-ring sets you reference. Yes, like you I keep a stack of the VVT o-rings in my bits and pieces drawer.
