Default a plug for skip shift solenoid?

When I got my Z06 there was a little leak coming from the Skip shift solenoid. we thought it was the speed sensor, but apparently it's the skip shift solenoid instead. Well this thing is disabled on my car anyways, so is there some kind of a plug I can buy to take the solenoid out and put a plug in instead?

what are my options for sealing this leak? if there is no plug available, perhaps some kind of high heat teflon tape around the threads or something?
