You will have a lot of trouble finding something that will fit the threads. The danger of leaks and the possabilty of the plug comming loose with the complete loss of oil presssure that will ruin the motor is too great. Either live with the leak or reseal it with silicone until you get a replacement. Another choice could be to gut the thing, drill and tap it out and put a pipe plug in it. I am talking about the sender on the left side of the motor, not the one by the oil filter.
