Default How do I fix this oil leak by my camshaft sensor?

Been driving me nuts trying to locate this leak but I think I identified it as coming from my camshaft position sensor just above my harmonic balancer pulley wheel. I can see oil stream out after idling for 20 minutes and drip around the front engine seal down to the oil pan. I can also wash the oil away with a hose and see the oil leak start by the sensor at idle so I'm pretty sure I got the source.

How do I fix this leak. I'm assuming I'll need to take off the fan and crankshaft pulley, to get at the senor but then what? Is there a gasket, do I use some sealant... ?

Thanks,

Brian

Looks like it's a pretty easy fix. There is an o-ring. It's $1.62 at AutoHausAZ.
