Default Ignition question

I have a 97 fatboy with the screamin eagle ignition. I just rebuilt the complete engine and noticed the pick up in the nose cone for the ignition was leaking a liquid from it. The question is can I replace it with a stock pick up or do i need to replace the entire ignition box and pick up. I heard it comes as a matched set. Thanks for any help.

Typically oil in that area is coming from the cam inner seal. The oil is actually seeping from behind the cam sensor.

When you say a complete rebuild was that a full tear down and rebuild with new seals, gaskets, and replacement of worn bearings?
