Thanks for the advice. I didnt think some oil (not a great deal, but its more than a slight ammount).
I had the CPS replaced 4 months ago with the new trans as a precaution. They told me I was lucky to be driving as the original CPS was cracked!
Said they had never seen one run with a cracked.
The one put in with the trans was a Rockauto cheap brand. I replaced with the only one offered by Oreilly (Not sure its any better, but it did cost about double).
I figured a quick sensor change to see if that cures my ills was a good plan before ripping into a timing chain replacement.
We'll see if it stops acting up over the next week.
On a side note, are there any bench tests for a CPS to verify its working correctly?

The oil on mine was on the "inside the bellhousing side" probably the tell tale sign of the beginnings of a rear main leak. Time to run a thicker, high mile formulated oil to swell things up. The wires and plug were [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] and span.
Just, for lack of better word, a dribble down one side of the part that sticks inside the bellhousing.
Edit: Apparently the Moparts filter felt I was making a racial slur towards those of Mexican heritage.
