You can replace the sensor AND the seal. Check the archives for "distributor seal". This was kicked around a couple of years ago. The information is out there. Unfortunately, once the archive came online I dumped the entire archive that I had.
The sensor's don't go bad often, but when they do, you won't go. Try one that is intermittent. That is fun to diagnose.

If your oil seal is leaking, causing your distributor to go bad, then you need to replace the whole distributor. Pick one up from mike potter or adirondack. It's gonna be about $200. _____________ _____________ List Sponsor: http://www.netsville.com To remove yourself from this list, send mail to [email protected] with 'unsubscribe a2_16v' in the body of your message See us on the web at http://www.a2-16v.com Visit the 16V Homepage at http://www.gti16v.org
