It's not leaking anymore since I replaced the gasket. But ever since I replaced the gasket, it's been throwing that error code when running at highway speeds. Until it finally stopped working entirely.

You could have gotten a defective solenoid. Was that a OEM part or aftermarket?

I didn't replace the solenoid, only the gasket to fix the oil leak. I'm going to replace the entire solenoid assembly and change the oil this weekend and report back if still having issues.
