ryadre 12 Report post Posted July 3, 2019 Hi all, I noticed a bit of oil under the vacuum pump, and the wife had complained about an oil smell, so this appears to be the culprit. Does anyone know if you can buy just the 2 o ring seals here in NZ anywhere? Or should I just order off Ebay and wait a couple weeks? Looks straight forward to repair myself.

Olaf 3235 Report post Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) There are a couple of rubber bellows in the PCV system that split with age above valve covers each side) and provide a bit of an oil smell. Next is the vacuum pump (mine was replaced (don’t know about o-rings), firmed up the pedal)... hopefully after that you’re not left with Puffing Billy impersonations from the tailpipe*** HTH *** usually valve stem seals at that point Edited July 3, 2019 by Olaf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryadre 12 Report post Posted July 3, 2019 I just noticed a small oil leak on the floor, so had a quick look under the bonnet, and touched under the vacuum pump and there was fresh oil under there. A quick googled showed a few results and videos that the seal/s commonly fail and can be replaced easily enough, the pump comes off the head (1 seal) and there is a cap on the pump that comes off (seal 2). Can buy them off ebay easily/cheaply enough so might go that way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
