Doing a bunch of stuff !!!
On the front of my timing cover I have 2 minor oil leaks
1. at the VVT solenoid
2. right below that at the sensor

I'm not really sure what the proper names would be to try and locate
new seals/gaskets to remedy my issue.
It's just some seepage at this point , but i have water pump off and
getting ready to swap out harmonic balancer too, so I'd like to clear this up
Thanks !!

I believe the seals for the VVT solenoid and the cam position sensor are part of the Timing Cover gasket set the Fel-Pro sells. At least that’s what I recall from when I replaced the cam shaft and lifters on my 2007 Denali 4-1/2 yrs ago.

I did some more research too...
The cam position sensor is the one leaking the most...
I can just replace it.. But I haven't found a gasket for the VVT without
buying a new VVT.. I looked at the felpro and I'm not sure it comes with
the vvt gasket.. The pic shows a gasket, but it's 5 hole and the VVT is 3

Yeah, you will need a 3 Hole gasket. Curious if the RockAuto picture is a generic picture.

You can buy the gasket separate.

A quick video for folks who don’t know what this is all about.
