Post by: omega3000 on 19 December 2013, 20:34:35: Does it have a seal/gasket/o'ring ??? Or do you just use a blob of sealant :)

Crank sensor is working ok mate , just suspect its leaking so o ring could be knackered :-\ Not had a chance to look yet but drip drip on the drive is from that area . Either that or the oil filter not sealing ::)

I have an o ring set so will see if i got one to fit , guess the o ring doesn't have to be genuine
???

Post by: AndyStobbs on 20 December 2013, 19:57:35: Nitrile, viton, mbr anything will do it. Even genuine don't last for ever. As you've discovered, they harden up.

I've just done a job on A corsa b with a fuel leak,the injector o ring where it fits into the rail had gone all icky and was passing fuel.
