Default LS6 crank position sensor leaking oil
Tried twice to seal using high temp silicone and even a bigger o-ring. Any suggestions ? Thanks

Is the crankcase vented properly?

Have you tried using a new correct o-ring for it? I would remove all the RTV as well with the new O-ring.

They rarely leak. Make sure it's not dripping down from the valve cover, cam sensor, or oil pressure sender.
