That was a common problem with the old style sender, they just had to be replaced. I have never seen a temperature sensor leak unless the seal had been damaged, I have seen some that had the sensor in the thermostat housing where the housing had a hairline crack where the sensor was screwed in leak.

Check the rubber seal where it is clipped into place. Was the part a pirate part. Try a genuine Ford part.
