Buying valve stems only

I recently had my OEM rims powder-coated satin black. Because the vehicle is a 2008 and only has 24k on it, I reused the TPMS valves and sensor. One of my wheels has a leak that is coming form the valve. My question is can you purchase just the metal valve stem ONLY from the dealer? I can see absolutely no reason why they wouldn't offer this as a separate part from the TPMS sensor - I have seen dealerships do some shaky things in the interest of making an extra buck however. If they do sell it as a separate part, does anyone have any idea how much it costs?

Putting tires on a car used to be so much simpler.

You can buy a rebuild kit & replace all of the o-rings. Most likely that will take care of this.

Kits sold on the web and ebay too

It's an OEM sensor from Beru; can buy either a complete stem, or a kit w just the trim parts and valve stem core.
