HELP IN IDENTIFYING LEAK

I’m not a car guy so I apologize in advance to the pros. Just looking for some info. I would like to know if you can identify the leak in the pictures of my ‘09 genesis 3.8 V6. I inspected it and the liquid is dark brown color. Any info or advice would be very helpful to me. Thank you

Can’t tell from the close up. Probably need a whole engine bay photo so people on the forum can see where it’s located instead of a close up with no other details

its cvvt cnrol solenoid

Yes, that's what I said a few days ago.

I believe that you are showing the connector for the CVVT control solenoid, and while I can't see the liquid, it would have to be engine oil.

Was this repaired by replacing the part and any seals or gaskets?

 

[johnny1593]

did you get to change both or just the seals?

Sorry for bumping an old thread but my 2011 4.6 is also leaking from the oil control valve. I was quoted $1k to repair this which doesn’t make sense to me. Apparently there is some labour involved as the engine cover needs to be taken off but this thread suggest the opposite. So I wonder if you had to replace only the seal cap or also the OVC and how much labour was involved?
