paddy Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 just put some clean oil on the seal and press into the recess on the block Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aidanep71 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 And obviously put sealer on the pump itself when re fitting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paddy Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paddy Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Very helpful thanks. Which sealant shall I use, would sump sealant be ok? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3 silver gt Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Yeah that grey stuff we used on the sump is fine, do you wanna do it on Sunday still? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Make sure you use a brand new O RIng to mate what goes around the pump too 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
