Re: Oil leak from CPS sensor?

Using aftermarket sensors? Use a OEM Saab/Bosch unit if so, the seal for the sensor will be orange. The aftermarket sensors I have replaced used a black o-ring which doesn't hold up well to heat and engine oil, thus tend to leak. Saab doesn't sell the o-ring separately, just replace the entire sensor. Cannot recommend RTV, when/if you need to replace the sensor again it will be quite a pain to deal with. You'd be better off finding a viton o-ring to match up what you have. Regular rubber o-rigs will swell with engine oil and leak again which I suspect the aftermarket sensors use.
