Any tips on doing oil pump seal?

[paddy]

I'm pretty sure my oil pump seal has gone, I'm getting a constant drip while running and replaced the crank seal and re sealed the sump the other day but still leaking. I ve ordered the I ring for the oil pump , does anyone have any advice on taking it off? Does it need to be resealed or anything when it goes back on?

just put some clean oil on the seal and press into the recess on the block

And obviously put sealer on the pump itself when re fitting

Ok I took an old pump off my old engine and it came off easily, didn't look like it had any sealant on it. Is sump sealant ok to use? I'll just use a little oil or silicon grease on the seals

Very helpful thanks. Which sealant shall I use, would sump sealant be ok?

Yeah that grey stuff we used on the sump is fine, do you wanna do it on Sunday still?

Make sure you use a brand new O RIng to mate what goes around the pump too 👍
