  2. Are you sure it’s not just oil burning off ? It looks quite oily in that area in your photo.
     
  3. yep... you can see the burnt oil residue on the body of the O2 sensor. They get very hot as they are in direct contact with Exhaust gases. Give it a good clean up and it should stop
     
  4. Lotta oil around that area…
     
  5. They also get hot very quickly because they have (electrical) heaters built in to ensure they get up to working temp fast.
