Re: oil leak 2004 9-3 Aero SS Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Mon, 25 Apr 2011 10:08:08 In Reply to: oil leak 2004 9-3 Aero SS, kyle, Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:45:06 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Most likely it is the brake vacuum assist pump seal. The problem with being an 03 or 04 is that they changed the thickness of the o-ring seal from 05 and up and it takes that 05 and up pump housing to fit the new seal.
If you just buy the seal and try to use it for an 03-04 pump, you will crush the seal and also tweak the pump housing so that another seal in the pump start to leak and that seal cannot be bought as a separate spare part but comes with the whole pump.
So all depending on what's going on, you might be able to stop the leak by cleaning and applying silicone on the old seal or replacing the whole pump with the newer one which is $287.00.
