The two o-rings at the bottom of the oil housing lid stem need to be changed around every 15,000 miles according to a tech article in The Star.
I have been meaning to change mine.
If they are hard, or missing?, or shrunken, they really need to be replaced.
I wonder if this is an often neglected item? My dealer did not even have any, even though nearly every diesel has them.
The part no. is 015 997 94 48. The price is .50 cents each.
There purpose in life is to prevent oil from draining back into the oil pan once the engine is turned off.
