The throttle sensor leaking oil? Are you kidding me? Who told you that? The thing you step on the floor to go faster is actually an electronic device connected to the PCM that tells the PCM that the carbon based unit wants to go faster. The accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor is a three-track potentiometer that is used to calculate fuel quantity. The sensor receives VREF voltage from the powertrain control module (PCM) and provides a variable voltage signal directly proportional to the accelerator pedal position. No oil involved! You need a new dealer!

Welcome Larry. SBV45 is a computer genius that gets frustrated with the dealers blowing smoke up our skirts. He is accurate. The only oil on the throttle body is some that gets in the intake from the pcv valve when the turbo pressurizes the crankcase. We all have some oil residue in the intake track. It is normal.

Thanks Bob, I didn't mean to sound like I was venting at Larry. I'm not. It irritates me when people who should know better, make up bs to customers.
