[s-cars] OEM Cam Position Sensor "G40" Questions

[Tim Dahm]

I would replace it.  My 169k 93 is leaking at the crank seal.  Last belt
replacement was @128k and if it would have been done then
I would not be taking everything apart now.  Just pulled the old seal last
night, and in spite of horror storys of being glued in and quite
difficult to remove, mine came right out with the drill small
holes/screws/pull it out method.   Of course I did not replace it on the 94
when I had it apart a few months ago, mainly due to that "glued in-b**** to
remove" story.  I am sure it will be leaking profusely in the next 10k ;-)
