Means "I am watching this one to get the answer", I guess. Now I am watching subscribed to get the answer too. Ha hah.
 
From interior to exterior to high performance - everything you need for your Stinger awaits you...
Here are the engine control/fuel system sensors, with pictures:

And the full site map -- jump down about halfway to the Service Manual entries, which includes the above section plus all the others:
 
Great. Except I don't know where in the engineroom that OP picture is located. Learning curve stuff, you see.
 
We're looking at the rear of the passenger side head, with the O2 sensor & precat just below. The sensor attaches to the plastic manifold just over the outside (exhaust) cam, so it could be a camshaft position sensor.

I took a picture and the numbers on it look something like:
39318-3L100?
4e07107Y1?8
9024170002

A quick search returns 39318-3L000 as a Kia/Hyundai cam position sensor, as well as 39318-3L100. Difference seems to be whether the connector is right angle or straight...maybe 000 is the driver's side bank or an older revision (mine is 3L100 with straight connector).

The right angle one also appears in the Kstinger cam position sensor page, but that site uses a lot of 4 cylinder info, so maybe it's the part for that engine.

9024170001 also returns 2018 Stinger cam position sensors (right angle connector), but I don't find anything for 9024170002.

Thank you for the research!

Very good. Now, why did "Jin" ask the question in the first place? Ha hah.
I noticed that I have an oil leak and I think that my PCV valve may be clogged and causing the right hand valve cover to leak and possibly the seals at all the other sensors. I just wanted to know in case I needed to replace that sensor as well. I noticed some oil around it, but it could just be from the valve cover gasket itself.

Thanks. This is why I read threads like this one. I too have an oil leak. Found out yesterday getting my "multi-point inspection". It's probably just sweating now. But I have an appointment with our "family mechanic" on the 7th Proximo to look for the leak. It could be the lefthand turbo oil feed pipe that KIA replaces under the safety recall. And recently, I've had our 2.0L valve cover gasket replaced because it was leaking oil.
