Default Leaky cam position advice

Just starting a plenum pull to do injectors and starter, and I notice I have a oil leak at what I believe to be the cam position sensor but I am having a hard time finding a replacement any recommendation where to find one. Thanks

Pull it out, clean area. Remove o ring carefully. Wrap Teflon tape around in the o ring groove. Reassemble. You have enough Teflon when it is snug to push it in. Do a search there is also a NAPA part number for a replacement O ring. Be careful. The cam sensor is hens teeth unavailable.

Match up the O ring at the auto parts store, I think I used an Oring from a GM AC kit

Mine had a crack. Because of what it is and where it is I don't think there is a durable fix. Though some reported good results with JB weld.

Phil (Jagdpanzer) provided a replacement. The picture shows both parts, old and new. DSC_0015.jpg
