DSL-COMTACDS Product Details
When these o-rings are damaged or missing the tube will leak oil and / or will rattle. One o-ring is placed on a nipple coming out of the bottom of the air cleaner housing and the other on a nipple coming out of the engine oil pan. The top o-ring can just be changed by removing the air filter housing, but the tube bracket (backside of turbo) must be removed in order to pull the tube off the bottom nipple for o-ring replacement.
