    Tombraider,
    I do not doubt your knowledge at all and it was a bit of a surprise to find that oil had actually gotten past them. I am thinking that maybe as the unit is not held down with anything other than the o rings holding it in place that there may be some movement / vibration over time wearing a small portion of the or ing away. When I pulled them out they did not look deformed or severely worn at all, but when I put them up against the new unit, they were ever so slightly worn / smaller. You could hardly notice until you laid them on top off each other. I would not silicone where the orings are. Was just thinking about sealing the top section where the plug meets the head, about 3/4 - 1 " above the o ring location. You would think with two o rings it would be just about fool proof.
    Who would supplu the Viton O rings so I can get some spares.
    Cheers

    In WA I'd recommend a phone call to Russell Pitcher at Transeals in Welshpool, Perth.

    You'll need the cross section and the O.D of the hole in the head would be best info (otherwise give dimensions off the old harness)

    Tell Russ that Mike Hayes sent you and he should look after you well.

    Remember you want Viton material.

    He can be emailed at russellp@transeals.com.au

    Cheers
    Mike
