So I found some oil leaking from this sensor. Did a Google search and it's apparently an internal valve control sensor, but the guys at auto zone can't find the part for me. Tried searching the net and forms, also with no luck. I figured I'd take a few pics and hope that someone on here can give me a part number or the name of what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

The first pic has the sensor centered. It's on the passenger side of the vehicle. 93 Maxima SE. Hope I supplied enough info.

I think that is the Valve Timing Control (VTC) Solenoid. If so, it is Nissan part number 23796-97E0A, list price $127, on-line approx $96.

Would be awesome if these parts suppliers had actual pictures of these parts instead of just vague black and white schematics. I'm hoping to have enough time tomorrow to take it out and look a bit better for a number. I think that's exactly what it is though. Thanks!
