Cam Sensor?

There is a sensor, on the timing belt cover. The top part of the cover. Is it the Cam sensor. It seems to be dripping oil.
Wanted to make sure its the Cam Sensor before buying another one,
Also where is best place to buy one?

Thanks in advance.

DON'T buy a new sensor. All you need is a new o-ring that goes on the sensor. Mine is leaky as well.

I went to homedepot and bought a o-ring from the plumbing section. I didn't know what size I needed so I bought the assortment pack. Don't wait too long because my leak caused my belt tensioner bearing to go and the air conditioner bearing to go.
