1994 sentra leaking distributor what size seal 0-ring does it take on the end of the distributor?

replaced the o-ring once. Have a bunch of metric orings does anyone konw what size oring it takes. Is there something else I am missing here? I guess they also call it a crank angle sensor? I have found a new one for 210.00 . Thought maybe I should try the o-ring one more time. I did not know if there was any thing else I could put on the oring to help seal it. Any help thanks.

Do me a favor take off the distributor cap and rotor and black plastic cover inside is there oil inside the distributor? The external o ring will not fix that. I would invest in a new distributor and replace the PCV valve. Crankcase pressure may be blowing oil out the internal distributor seal.

You can get the o-ring size from a dealership's parts department, or even get the thing there.
The only thing I would do before reinstalling the sensor is to clean the opening very well with a scotch-brite pad, and apply a thin coating of oil to the seal before installing.
