I've done both but the one I sealed started leaking again. It could be I used the wrong sealer (?).
On the replacement, I bought a chrome one from auto parts and used a box end wrench that just fit over the tube to tap it in. So far that's lasted longer.
If it comes out easily you can try inserting something on the end of the tube to expand it slightly for a tighter fit, however, if the engine hole is wallowed out from someone messing with it before, it's touch and go.
