Leaking coolant from sensor

I just started getting my car on the road and was so happy until Isaw a puddle under it on the driveway. It seems the radiator is leaking collant out of that damn coolant level sensor that sits on top. replaced the o-ring but that didn't stop it. Upon closer examination i realized the thing was cracked and wasn't sealing against the radiator.

Now I don't know what to do. The dealership said $60 for a new one,so Iwalked out. I was thinking of just trying to find a bolt that fit the hole and putting that it there but that doesn't seem like it wouild be easy . . .

I just went to pick one up from the dealer today. Ordered it yesterday. Was $32, plus $3 to overnight it.
I couldn't resist having a look at a new RX8, but the salesman was more interested in checking out my '83.

Gotta love the drool factor our 20 years old cars still have!
