P0442 - Small Evaporative Leak

Still trying to pinpoint the culprit for my 1999 9-5 emissions test failure indicated by the P0442 - Small Evaporative Leak OBD trouble code. I've tried unsuccessfully the epoxy patch around the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor pedestal, which has been mentioned as a highly likely source of a leaking crack. Last night, I used my combustible gas detector to sweep from the tank up to the underhood evaporative sytems components and I still come back to the sensor location under the rear passenger seat and access hole for the fuel pump and fuel line connections. I start up the car and within 30 seconds, the detector starts squealing as the tank and evap system must be starting up its pressurization test.
I suppose the Bosch sensor could actually be the defective and leaking part (how ironic!!)? Anybody know where I can buy this part for less than the $236 price on theSaabsite.com? I've dealt with them for years and I doubt anyone is cheaper, but just asking around nonetheless.
Thanx,
Kirk D.
