Oil level sensor leaking- replace the whole sensor?

I found the leak! I cleaned up my whole oil pan and found that the drip was coming from the oil level sensor. At least, I believe it is the oil level sensor. It is bolted on to the driver's side of the oil pan, the portion that sticks into the pan is a cylindrical shape. The leak was not coming from the o-ring that seals the aluminum body to the pan though, it was leaking from the small sensor that goes through the aluminum body. I tried to take the sensor out of the aluminum body but it wasn't coming easy and I didn't want to break it. My question is this; is there a way to remove the sensor from the body and get a new seal/sensor or do I have to buy the entire assembly with the sensor already in the aluminum body?

This is on my 87 300SDL with 167k miles.

Anyone want to trade an old Volvo for an '87 300sdl?
