My knock sensor leaks as well but it may be coming from the oil cooler. I know there are lots of MSPs with oil leaks coming from this area and it's not a problem unless you are losing lots of oil. Knock sensor's are over $100 new and that's most likely not the problem.

So its not necessary replace it , just leave it leaking, I don't think so also the only way to stop this leaking is replacing it.

Oh nevermind, I read the title of this thread and was thinking something completely different (jerkit)

According to that thread if the Knock sensor is leaking it needs to be replaced, I guess that's another part added to the list.
