Hey guys i recently changed my vacuum pump due to leaking. I was leaking at the cover of the vacuum pump, the O ring was no good. Well, i installed the new pump and all is well. I found an O ring for the old pump and would be willing to sell it. All you would need is the 3$ O ring for the rear of the pump. Let me know if anyone is interested!

Hate to rehash an old thread but where did you get a replacement Front O-Ring for the vacuum pump? Do you have a brand and part number? How about size?
Thanks

however i just ended up cleaning the oring and surfaces with brake cleaner, and coated the oring with rtv silicone. no more leaks.
