Default Crankshaft Position Sensor Connector Leaking Oil

My 2009 HD Street Glide appears to have oil collecting at the crankshaft position sensor connector. Is this a common problem, could oil be leaking through the sensor wire down into the connector. Is this condition serious enough to put a new sensor in ? If a new sensor is installed does the engine require any new calibration ?

Best regards,
Len

There’s an o-ring (pn# 11289A) that goes on the sensor. Perhaps try replacing that to see if it corrects the issue. Also, rule out that it is not coming from somewhere else such as the stator plug or elsewhere and just collecting there.
