Even with a new sensor and o-ring I had a leak too.
I used some plumbers tape around the threads.  So far so good.

In every instance I've expereiced the coolant around the coolant level
sensor, the sensor itself had a crack in it. Give it a careful
inspection using a magnifying glass. Your problem may be a crack, not
an
"O"- ring.
