That is good news you have found the problem Stan and I suspect the only connection with the crank sensor is age! Regards, Matthew T.

I have also replaced the suspension arm return pipe on both front wheels as I am sick of topping up the oil

They do eventually split with age. I guess most of us have had to do that job! Pipes and clips still available, and same as Xantia, if I rememember rightly.

Did you manage to sort the other problem?
