2000 V8 Oil Level Sensor Not Available?

[torinoscj429]

All

The oil level sensor on my 2000 Mountaineer leaks. I took it out, and it's all one piece, not the 2-piece one of years past. I looked in all the usual places, Autozone, O'Reilly Auto, NAPA, RockAuto, and the part is no longer available. Standard part number FLS51, or NAPA ECH FLS641.

Has anyone found an aftermarket replacement, or am I going to have to go to the Ford Dealer and take out a loan?

Ideas?

Thanks,

Gerard

I searched for 6c624 on ebay and found this right away, you might dig deeper.

The one I have has 3 wires and a clip connector, PN f57z-6c624-ac . The other one is the old single wire unit.

I found an NOS one on ebay, $85: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Ford-Ex...043&rk=1&rkt=1&so=lastwatched&sd=200873462538

What the heck happened to the aftermarket on this sensor?
