I have a bit of a leak from the camshaft adjuster magnet. it is leaking from inside the device itself, and not an outside sealing issue...it is a very small leak so i will not be changing it for now....

I unplugged it while the engine is running to test, nothing changed...the engine idled normally...is that an indication that it is not working correctly?

Thanks,

The solenoid gets signal at approx 2800rpm & releases the oil in the gear and that allows the intake camshaft to advance.

NOT a $$ part & easy to install.
