Mine is throwing a few codes, camshaft control, camshaft position sensor, tc system flow fault, throttle position sensor 1&2, and torque. Removed the cover to find that oil appears to b leaking pretty heavily from the solenoid,could a bad solenoid throw all those codes

Hi

The oil cap is the big black cap in the left side of the engine.

where is the oil cap located? When I took off the plastic cover there is oil spilling everywhere. But its hard to tell where the oil was coming from all I know it was concentrated under the plastic guard

No, it’s not normal.

Usually it’s leaking from the oil cap, and a new o-ring should fix it.

I was wondering if there is oil under the plastic covers as seen in your picture number 2? Is that normal?
