Default Power Steering Pressure Sensor

I have a 1997 2.3 Ford Ranger.
I am leaking power steering fluid up through the pressure sensor.
Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
And i have changed out the pressure sensor with another used one but this one seems to leak a lot more.
Any tips or advice would be appreciated

Put in a brand new sensor, not used ones. This of course, assumes that it is the sensor itself that is the cause and not what it's screwing into.

It is leaking out of the top of the plug that plugs into it
