    It's just sealed with an o-ring. So if the o-ring is bad, just put on a new one.

    If you have an LNF, you might want to make sure it's not leaking from the cap on the side of the fuel pump housing as well. That's where my leak was coming from.

    Yup, get an oring, or better yet justtake the sensor out, clean it up, and slap some grey silicone on it. Seal the "crotch" area where the shaft of the sensor turns into the flange the touches the head. Reinstall sensor, enjoy leak free sensor. Also, make sure its not the valve cover of the HP fuel pump leaking. There's a new gasket you can use, or again, do the clean/smear routine with grey silicone. (Permatex Ultra Grey, Cyclo MaxPro GreyOX, or GM engine sealant)

    PS: on the pump you put the sealant on the gasket or on the flanges, don't smear any into the "crotch"
