Default Crank sensor leak

So I've had an oil leak from the front of the engine for a while and after replacing all the seals up front I have determined that it is coming from the crankshaft position sensor. There is an o-ring that goes around the sensor and seals to the timing cover that looks like the culprit. Does anyone know where you can get a replacement without buying the whole sensor? I tried the parts store ones, but they where too fat. This o-ring looks flat on the sides. Any help would be appreciated.

It might look flat on the sides just because it has been in there for so long. Even GM did not service the o-ring separately from the sensor.

But... I did find an AC-Delco number 219-194, however, it is a pack of 5.

Jegs has the 5 pack for $15.... beats $90 for the whole sensor. Thanks!

That's not too bad. Sell the rest to friends.

See if you can locate an industrial supply house that sells Parker O-rings. A single ring for that sensor shouldn't be more than $1.00-1.25........

I wish I had found those seals before. Would have saved me $50, and it didn't even fix my leak. :/
