Leak from fuel sensor wire

Could not find anything through the search function.  Has anyone else encountered fuel leakage around the fuel gauge sensor wire where it goes into the tank.  The leak on mine is around the wire and is a slow weep.

I kept smelling gas, so I figured I'd better check my fuel fittings.  After some searching, I found the leak around the wire.

Just want to verify, it looks like I'll have to change the whole fuel sensor assy as I've never found anything to securely seal against gasoline.

Looks like I heading to Bike Bandit.

Any advise regarding possible fixes or alt sources for parts will be appreciated.

Here's a part schematic.  #11 looks to be the animal since it's leaking from the wire which enters through the bottom center.  Bummer![/img]
