Hey Ryan,

Mine iat sensor looked exactly same, with the oily substance on the sensor too.
I don't think there's anything to worry about.

I went to Crappy tire and bought a 1/4" brass plug. Look in the automotive section where they carry radiator stuff. You'll see a small section with all brass fittings and plugs. A pack comes with 2 brass plugs.

I had an extra plug but I gave it away to a fellow Dak owner.
