That looks like it's come off a 4 pot. If so I'm not
surprised by the state of it. The routing of the cable,
down the clips of the cambelt cover, provides a
perfect line for oils drips from the cam cover gasket
to track down, get trapped inside the sheathing that
covers the bottom third of the cable and collect on
the crank sensor.
The sensor gets slowly sauteed in the hot oil until
it cracks the join, enters the sensor, and causes the
damage that your picture shows.

When I replaced mine I changed the run of the cable
and brought it round the front of the power steering
pump and then linked back into the clips that run up
the cambelt cover. This effectively puts a loop into
the cable run and stops the oil reaching the sensor.

Any cabling that follows the original route will end up
with a sensor like the one in your picture unless the
engine is oil-tight in that area, in my opinion.
