VSS Leak

I've had an ABS light on for awhile now & appears to be from the VSS. When I looked this is what I found.



Anyone experience this before. It's been replaced before by a mechanic. Wondering if it's some o-ring failure. I couldn't get the bolt loosened at the time but plan on tackling it next weekend.

Yes, I've done this R&R last year. Super easy and an inexpensive part. That sensor is also a magnet, probably a good idea to clean it off every decade...

Looks like your o-ring is leaking. A new one comes with a new o-ring which should help.

Just replaced mine on Friday. $16 at O'Rielly. Less then 5 min to replace. Took care of my ABS light. The parts guy said that it is very common replacement part on Ford's and Dodge's. Put a little grease on the o'ring before you insert it.

I've never seen one leaking. That was my concern. Was it something bigger that a bad o-ring. We'll find out next weekend.
