Warning, it does make a bit of a mess when the bottom plate comes off. Old seal on both of them just fell apart. Replacement part does not look like the parts diagram as it is round, but fits just right
Good luck

H2O2 fyi: Preliminary assessments indicate that the o-ring for the top of the oil filter on an OM617 is a suitable replacement for the IP bottom plate on an OM603--in case locating the correct seal is difficult, otherwise go with stock.
So I take a round seal/gasket/o-ring and forum it in to a rectangle and try to hold this shape while I try to mount the cover with six screws.
Sounds like a nasty job really. Definitely will look at the price between seal & O-ring. I do have that style oil O-ring.
