Hi there,

thank you for the donation,

If the leak is from the rolled edge around the black section of the sensor it will have to be replaced, if from the thread, this should be a tapered gas thread so try and nit it up a bit, if it continues to leak (from the thread, remove and check housing for any signs of cracking at the thread.
