Camshaft sensor oil seals

So i got myself a 03 g35 coupe, it was mistreated but slowly but surely its coming back up, so my issue and request for knowledge is for the camshaft oil sensor seals, they appear to be like o-rings, the previous owners were irresponsible and put AC o rings on the camshaft sensors, causing my g to shmoke an stink, i cant find the part online, id appreciate the help, thanks g community!

Well maybe they dont have an O-ring specifically for the sensors. But any O-ring should work if its the same size.

You're not going to find specific "cam sensor o-rings", just get some EPDM or nitrile O-rings that fit snug. The viton o-rings for AC systems would have worked fine but they were probably not sized correctly, they are more expensive than nitrile which is why they're generally not used for that application.

EDIT: Don't use generic RUBBER o-rings for plumbing. Those are designed for water only and will swell/melt when soaked in oil.
