Is it possible to just replace the tran pan plug?

I am seeking a source for the Rubber Plug for the 17 bolt pattern Transmission Pan on a Ford Taurus, 3.0L (OHV 12V). [Yes, it exists. I have replace the pan twice over the years, and I have seen this plug on every same model car (dozens) inspected in the lots.] See attached images. Thanks for anything you can do! -Tom

The fluid began to leak at the rubber plug. Need to replace rubber plug (instead of whole pan) to stop the fluid leak.
