Ever since getting the Stag back on the road earlier this year there has been a minor oil leak from somewhere in the vicinity of the oil pump. The oil runs down the low side of the pump mounting bolts before dripping onto the floor and upon investigation it seemed to be coming from the mating surface of the pump to the engine. Inspecting the ROM shows there to be an O ring sealing the pump to the block, so one was purchased from Paddocks and after a struggle was fitted. Job done I thought - wrong! The leak is worse than ever and I'm back to square one 
My question is I notice on the Rimmers site that they sell an uprated seal (part number 145861HD) - does anyone know how its uprated (is it thicker for example?) and might it improve my chances of fixing my oil leak once and for all?
