that would be the crankshaft sensor (POS).

its leaking oil? seaping out or draining?

thats odd, I dont think so sensors have a gasket on it, might need to take out and thread it with sealant the reinstall.

Nope, thats the camshaft angle sensor.

Crank position POS is located under the car on the transmission bell housing, it looks at the flywheel. Crank position REF is located on the lower pully.

Pull the sensor out and clean the sealing area, maybe put a small amount of gasket sealer on it and reinstall it. That should fix your leak.
