R52 Crank Position Sensor Seal

I need to change the seal on my Crank Sensor but Rock Auto doesn't carry them. Anyone know who has them besides the dealer?

I am thinking it is a Victor Reinz O12147514983 that is silicone. Would think a nitrile or neoprene would also work.

I cannot agree more. I am still sore paying $4.50 for Victor Reinz from Amazon which arrived in a plastic bag without proof it is real Victor Reinz. I should just pick the closest one from my $4 Harborfreight o-ring kit. They get you because of the FUD factor. A stinking $$0.05 o-ring with 90x markup.
