Default cam sensor oil leak

I purchased a 1996 Volvo for my daughter and shortly after noticed a bad oil leak. The oil is leaking around the cam sensor around the top of the engine. I pulled the cam sensor off and noticed that someone had drilled a hole in it. I replaced this part and it is still leaking badly. Do I have a head gasket leak that is pulling in air and causing pressure build up in the crank case? Please help?

Default RE: cam sensor oil leak

You need to replace the Cam seals.If it is leaking into the cam sensor then the seals are leaking.
