Oil leaking on computer. Does anyone else have this problem ? If so where is it coming from? Wires obviously . What puts that much oil pressure to make oil push through the wires.. please help.

Thanks
I've spent quite a bit of money and had mechanics scratching their heads with this and never pin pointed it . I was about to scrap this car. . I appreciate your help .
There's only so many places where oil can leak from. Front main seal. Camshaft seals, VVTI gear seals. But none of those have any electrical sensors by them that pressurized oil can force its way past except maybe the crank position sensor. But a leak here would be obvious since the whole front of the motor where the timing belt is would be coated in oil. VVTI solenoid is one spot where oil is under pressure, and anything spurting out could get into the harness and just drip downward to the ecu. Valvecovers could leak oil but it wouldn't be pressurized. Camshaft sensor could leak but since it's connected to the head near the camshafts there would be no oil under pressure here. Both of those leaks wouldn't be pressurized, so oil would have to drip down via gravity. Oil pressure sensor could be leaking, since any leak there would be pressurized and potentially have the ability to work its way up the harness
