Question Coolant level sensor leak?

I have a leak around the coolant level sensor ( the hex shaped thing with wires, next to the radiatior cap). Is there anything magic here? I'm guessing that there is an o-ring under it. Is that a good guess? I did a search here and didn't find anything in the first few pages, and a quick look at the manual didn't anwser my question. thanks for your help.

Never mimd, stupid question!!

Oh boy do I feel dumb! After posting, and the car cooled down. I went back to the shop and twisted the sensor out with my fingers. Well I was close, there is a flat seal under it. I cleaned it up and put it back in with a light cresent torque , and guess what, NO leak.

Well what can I say?
