There is an O ring at the top if the sensor, they rarely leak there. If there is oil coming out of the top of the sensor its toast. Even if its just leaking, its toast. It will send all kinds of weird readings to the PCM. You can try tightening the ICP sensor and the leak might stop...

To be sure, the sensor you have leaking is at the front of the drivers side head?

Yes it's on the front of the driver side head, where it's leaking is right above the hex part that u tighten it to the head with so I'm guessing the sensors toast but i'll try tightening it just to make sure, thanks

I have three or four in differant levels of toast ness... Keep the old one if it is still working, you will have a back up if something goes bad.

yeah, that's probably a good idea because this one still works but it leaks a lot. Thanks for all the help
