Is it part of this gasket kit? https://www.oemacuraparts.com/oem-pa...1hbnVhbA%3D%3D
Not sure to be honest.

Okay cool. Because those are the O-rings i already ordered but when they came the receipt said theyre for an Oil pump so i wasnt too sure. But theyre probably just a universal part. Thanks alot.

Just replaced an o ring -
second time appears to be the charm.
advice - put o ring in freezer for 4 hours to stiffen it. Use a lot of grease on plate and where plate is inserted.
gotta be careful not to pinch or rip the o ring when installing. Freezer plus a sh*t ton of grease!

8 months later and seal is leaking again. Not a huge amount....but enough to bother my OCD.
question: if I do this for the 3rd time, I am going to also use some type of sealant or permatex.......unless you good folks talk me out of it. Thoughts??????????

You shouldn't use any sealant on o-rings or rubber gaskets. Only times when I believe in putting silicon on the gasket is if gasket is paper or surface is pitted / damaged from corrosion.
Put some oil, grease, assembly goo on the o-ring before inserting to prevent damage to the o-ring.

Sometimes, a clogged pcv valve will put pressure on oil seals. If you have not had yours replaced, I would check to see if it is still good (takes less than five minutes to remove and check).

If your pcv valve is good, look for any scratches on the thrust cover and mating walls. It is possible to scuff the surfaces if you are not careful.

Thank you for reply. I'll get a new PCV today since it's inexpensive and easy to change.
I have concerns that maybe the thrust plate or surface is scuffed - my mechanic warned me of this too.
My problem is - do I try again for third time or have mechanic do it?
I mean, it's easy to do, but obviously I'm not doing it well / effective.
I used a lot of grease. I put o ring in freezer. I was careful when installing. I took my time. Yet I guess I am not good at this task.......
