Default coolant leak...

Hi,

For the past couple days my '93 90s has been leaking a small amount of coolant. After some investigation I think the leak is located at a pink (color) sensor located on a plug at the bottom of the plastic coolant bottle.

Has anyone had a similar leak? Does fixing it require replacement of the entire plastic bottle, or just sensor/lower plug?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

DanJ.
