Let me restate.
I am NOT going to buy a new one.

There is 3 nuts that hold it one to the side of the IP......and its a paper thin gasket....Make sure thats the problem....thats the only way it can leak oil I think....those last even longer than the IP's on the average.
If the gasket is intact...clean it up...and smear RTV or permatex on both sides real thin. THen check back with us...Bet that solves it.
