When changing the crankshaft is recommended to change the camshaft sensors as well ? Or they don’t needed to be replaced at the same time ?

Good morning! How about doing a video on the issues of leaky cam shaft positioned sensor, of various brands, with end up oil getting into ECU. I would imagine oil leaking thru inside & flat part of the sensor body rather than oil leaking thru the O-ring which then leak oil thru the wire.🤔🤔🤔 Correct? Oil leaking out of the camshaft adjuster magnets would sometimes be confused with the above. Mercedes M278 engines have much higher chances of this happening in its cam shaft position sensor when compared to M271?. It is due to pooling of oil inside of these sensor due to V shape of the engine?. Regardless of M271 or M278 would it be advisable to change it once it is at 100,000 miles or more than 15 years old - since getting oil in ECU would exponentially increase cost and hassle when caught unexpectedly. Oil leak from crankcase position sensor would face this issue?.

My car has this code in its memory (2004 Nissan Almera N16) and the engine light on but the car runs ok! Any ideas why this could be? 😢

Good afternoon everyone I would like to share the problems I'm having with my 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe 5.3L. I really hope I can fix without spending 3k from engine rebuild. I have 3 codes P0340, P0341 & P0016. I already replaced the camshaft position sensor didn't pass smog test because of the check engine light on. Is someone having similar issues with they're Tahoe?
