It may not be the Collant or Oil on the Sencors, but a combination of Chips, Wear, and Coolant buildup around the Gripping Finger. Don't forget that most older machines have an Origin in which they have to be loaded (Dimple OUT). If some inexperienced person Loaded it wrong once it posses a problem of throughing tools in the Future. I see a lot of machine abuse around here because people cut corners rushing to get the setup done. Or they simple were not taught correctly. Check for Damage and or Chip Buildup around the Gripping Finger of the Tool Arm. You may be very suprised at what you find.
BTW: Check the Spring Load Tention by Prying a Tool Holder out Carefully. If it comes out too easy, you know the drill buddy. Replacement which can be a real PITA on older machines. The new ones just break off, LOL
