I have a 2005 ram 4.7L and have a oil leak on the passenger side above the exhaust coming from this sensor, located at rear of engine, close to transmission. Hoping someone can help, thanks

Well, since the sensor is in the rear of the block closest to the bellhousing it would be the Crankshaft Position Sensor.

Yes, i think it’s the crankshaft position sensor. Thanks for the assistance.
