Default Coolant Level Sensor keeps popping out!

I have a 1998 and the sensor just below the radiator fill cap keeps popping out, I can't see where it uses a screw or nut of anyt kind but and it has 2 little rubber O-rings and just pops into the radiator. Why would this happen? do i need new O-rings? where can i get them or a whole new sensor? part number?

There should be a wire clip that holds it in, but it is not sold separately.
