So I have coolant puddling up on my transmission and the leak appears to be coming from the coolant flange that sits behind the vacuum pump. I'm looking to order one, however there seems to be nil stock in Australia, so I'm facing a 3-5 week wait for back order, or ordering one from Pelican Parts and still waiting several weeks.
When looking at ordering the part, it says "dont forget to order this seal" and shows an O ring. This had me thinking... Could the leak just be coming from a failed O ring? is this where they normally fail, or is it usually the plastics that fail? Could I pull off the flange, and replace the O ring with one that is the same and hit the road again?
I've got a cruise coming up in a couple of weeks and would like to get it fixed before then, thats why i'm asking about the O ring replacement.
Thanks!
