I meant to post a pic of the new o-ring location but don't have any pics.thought I had snapped a few of the pumps side by side.who knows.Р”Р„nyway.I'm not pulling it back out just to take a pic, hoping someone else will. To wrap things up: If any of you have a leaking vacuum pump, change the entire pump.Post a pic of the new pump design if you get a chance. Where that oil comes from and how it reaches the cables is another matter.

So the oil travels along the cables and drips onto the transmission (just like in the Bond movie where they tried to drip poison along a thread and into his mouth). The exact location of the leak is very hard to pinpoint, at least in part, because of the cables attached to the bracket held by that annoying third screw. So I decided that the problem was not caused by the internal gasket that seals the back plate. Fine-tune the controller by further adjusting the control knob in the desired direction - based on psi readings obtained on the gauge - to achieve optimal boost level (typically a 2-3 psi increase on. I had wrapped foil around the back plate and did not see any oil on the foil after a week or so, whereas there was oil caught by foil wrapped around the annoying third screw shown in the pictures in this thread. Turn the controller clockwise to increase turbo boost (counterclockwise will decrease boost), and test setting by obtaining a reading on the boost gauge during a full-throttle acceleration run. 1 PSI (Engine Idling, Warmed up and AC off) 21. My city has an elevation of roughly 3300 feet, and today (70F) I found the following boost readings: -.2 PSI (Ignition on, engine off).

The old O-ring was intact, albeit a bit flattened. This gauge responds wonderfully to the boost pressures, but I found it displays numbers that seem a bit off. Just as some of you did, I replaced the seal and the damn pump still leaked.
