I have a rather niggling oil leak from the oil take off plate on the type 4 engine in my 914. When it was fitted there was much discussion as to whether a rubber O ring (about 35mm in diameter) should be necessary, or whether just the rubber inserts for the oilways should do the job. The O ring was left out. Given that I seem to be getting oil leaking from this area can anyone confirm whether the circular groove in the take off plate should have an O ring.

Thanks

Hello, Roger.

I'm not sure which plate you refer to..There is a steel plate which has an o-ring of that sort of size in the bottom of the case..is this the one?

Kind regards

Its the plate that fits where the original oil cooler is fitted - it provides the take off point for the remote cooler.
