Old fart with no real experience (so be kind) just wondering what this part is.
It has lots of gunk and oil all around it which I assume is not normal.
Is that fixable?? Should I not give a crap?? Thanks.

Camshaft position sensor.
The o-ring might need to be replaced.

Thank you sir. Appreciate it.

Could also be the valve cover gasket seeping onto the sensor.

You might already know this, but you’ll want a OEM sensor and magnet if you replace this. MP sells both. Many people have tried the popular parts stores and they fail quite often.
