2.8 oil leak

Hey all I got small oil leak coming from the drivers side down near the headers. There seems to be two sensors there which im guessing are knock sensors. I know the oil filter is right down there but im pritty sure thats tightened up real good. Plus its not spilling on the ground at all. Is there anything else arround there that could be leaking? And if you guys think its those sensors what are they and how much do they cost? Thanks a ton in advance!

Re: 2.8 oil leak

If its a sensor leaking, just pull the sensor out, put some thread tape on it and put it back in, see if that helps your problem before you go replacing sensors that still work.
