Default FI: Oil leaking through sensor near valve cover
Does anybody know the part number for these? Oil has been seeping through it and there are no part numbers indicated other than "INS15". Could it be the rubber seal and can I just replace the rubber seal?

The faulty part is on Audi Q7 (4L) 3.0T.

That is the camshaft adjustment solenoid, yes replace the O-Ring and all should be fine.
