The oil in the chip

Good day. The problem actually what, chip wires that go from the gearbox. She was in the oil, disconnected it, and there at all in the oil, already dripping from it. Under Wiper chips which was also the top oil.
So this is the second time this, I can not understand how oil gets there in such numbers ???
And how to make it so that there would no longer fell ???
Like this chip speed sensor.

In the last photo, this chip is located on the right, black.

So you're getting oil in the plugs or what? I'm not quite sure I understand what is going on.

Yes, I want to understand how oil gets in the chip (which is black). This should not be, they should be dry, and feature black, inside it has oil.

I have no idea how oil would get there, as the connector should be electrical only

I'd give it a degrease and see if it comes back.

Oil is amazing and like water will capillary up the loom, same happens to MB 5 speed tiptronic gearbox the plug in the gearbox allows oil to leak through, it travels up the loom and into the gearbox ECU, ends up full of oil and dies amazing Rolling Eyes
