Crank Angle Sensor

My engine coded a month or two ago, and it read out as a crank angle 
sensor fault.  My mechanic blamed it on an oil leak at the rear main 
seal: apparently some oil got on the sensor.  Cleared the code and 
all was fine (other than the leak).  It coded again this week.  The 
car is now losing about a quart of oil per thousand miles, so I'm 
going to have the seal replaced soon.  The mechanic suggests 
replacing the sensor at the same time.

My question is: how many of you have ever had this sensor fail, and 
if I don't replace the sensor, will it cost a lot more to replace it 
later if it fails (in other words, is the labor a lot less if you're 
doing the seal at the same time?)
