Replaced my Vac. Pump seal--No More Leaks!

Wow,<br>What a difference! No more leak! I was loosing oil as you might remember. So, I determined that the oil was actually from the Vac Pump input shaft seal. I found the bad seal and replaced it. Not too tough, thanks to another post. <br><br>The next leak is the power steering unit. Can't tell if its the hoses or .........worse! &gt;<br><br>I swear I'm gonna kill every single leak if it kills me. <br><br>TJ

Thats EXACTLY what I used!!<br><br>I had to order from the East coast, I forgot the company, some National Seal Company. I paid about $12 for it. That seal saved me $980 for a new Vac pump!!<br><br>I LOVE THIS SITE!<br><br><br>TJ
