You'll have to pull it out and measure the diameter of the hole. If you cant get a freeze plug to work, the hardware stores usually have those 'universal' plugs that consist of a hunk of rubber, a washer, and a nut you turn to expand the rubber in the bore. That outta seal it.

The bore in the cover for mine hase a nasty looking scratch going from top to bottom. I didnt think it would seal, but it does. And I didnt even get a new o-ring. So the bore in yours must be f*cked if you cant get it to seal with a new o-ring.

RTV in the bore with the CPS sensor isnt gonna do jack unless you clean every bit of oil from both surfaces. Then use the grey rtv, its tuff stuff.

universal plug's?? wouldnt the rubber get hot and melt and such or it might expand.. does the cover have to be pulled for that method we'd like to keep it on car

Ive used those expandable rubber plugs on numerous things. They are intende for capping pipe stubs, but they hold up. Its not just simple rubber, its EPDM or whatever. In my first car, a POS 82 porche 924 turbo, I used one to replace a freeze plug... Had the car overheat bad enough to crack the head, that plug still didnt leak a drop.
SOME auto parts stores carry them, and if you find one there, they are an oil resistant rubber. (They are meant as an emergency type of freeze plug replacement)

Looks like a cylindrical piece of rubber, with a slightly larger o.d. washer on top and a smaller one on bottom. The washers are linked together by a bolt that when tightened draws the two towards each other, expanding the rubber and making it squeeze against the bore.
