Oil Leak from Camshaft Sensor (2.0 Zetec Silvertop)
As title says....
Questions....
a) Has anyone blanked theirs off completely?
b) Can I put any 'o' ring in place of the leaky one the rather than buy a new sensor at £30 that I dont even use!
Edited to add -
Just been down to my local auto factors and they gave me a 'round' 'o' ring to try. Apparently the Ford one is a
'flat' 'o' ring. The one the shop gave me was too round so the sensor didnt fit. can I buy 'flat' o rings
anywhere?

Thanks, the 'o' ring I tried was too round. The guy in the shop said mine was a flat 'o' ring.
The original leaky 'o' ring did seem very stiff as opposed to the new (too big) one which was nice a rubbery!
