Hi
I have a oil leak and it seems to be around the crank speed sensor. Bit hard to see under the intake manifold area.
Is there maybe something else that could cause oil leak under intake manifold? Oil is on the side towards the back on the block.

The i try to get crank speed sensor out but the bolt did not want not move and did not try much last night as i need the car. Does the bolt stick more when the engine is hot? Any tricks to get it out? I do not want to damage it as then it is lot of strip work to properly get to it.

any advice?
