He even tried Hylomar Blue around the outside edge of the O-ring, before replacing and tightening the cover, to avoid Hylomar getting into the oil system. However the leak soon reappeared. My suggestion was to buy a piece of slightly thicker O-ring material, cut it to the required length, glue the ends together, fit this new O-ring into the groove with the join at the top, then see whether that stops the oil leak. Has anyone already done this and exactly what thickness and type of make-your-own O-ring was obtained and from where?
