and seal .
If someone here know the characteristic of the seal behind this plate (see photo) he will be welcomed :blush:
Because I have a small leak of oil and before open/remove this plate I prefer already have the good seal in hand.
Where I am I can get only "similar" for an "original" one it could take a loooonnnger time.


On the photo you can see the "leak" (yellow arrow).

The only info I can found they don't give detail of this place:nonono:


Thanks

Most likely o-rings, just like the other end. The thing you won’t know is what size they are.
 
of course

Have you attempted to tighten it before going any farther.??..>>>Dan


yes but already strongly tighten from the origin ...more could be damageable for the block, because made in alloy .


Ok it is a small leak but really I don't like when oil don't stay at her place :):lol:
 
That looks like a blanking flange for a typical hydraulic manifold/valve assembly. As was mentioned already, the flange typically will have a machined o-ring groove, sized according to the port size that it is blanking.
 
May be I will try to see even without the right one in hand.
I have may be 50 different in stock if I am lucky ....I will ave one similar :)
 
You can also get a kit to custom make your own sizes. I have one for those rare times I don’t have the right size on hand. I consider those temporary until I get a replacement.
 
For them we will

open this part.
Ok nothing jump everywhere pushed by a big spring :lol:
But when you unscrew the "flange" on the fixed par a "piston" push until it arrive at the same level of the alloy part.
Inside the cover one small O ring 52 mmx2.5 mm.
But the 2.5 mm was near the same level than the flange , may lost their characteristic.
Ordered 51 mm x 3 mm send the same day by DHL for "next day " delivery ...
One 6 days later they send it back to the factory because they can't find the address , reason "invalid post code" ...but my friend living here since 2017 and she know her ...postcode :rofl:.
Send again with option one day delivery and it take...5 days:nonono:


Ok fitted in place, start engine and for the moment no more leak :dance:
Photo if someone have a same problem one day .
