Just wondering if anyone has moved to a different turbo and has one of these laying around that they don't need. I'm pretty sure mine is leaking around the motor shaft, not between the two halves of the pump. Thanks!

Three reasons I dropped the insane $$ for a new one - it's already 20+ yrs for a used part, this sits next to the turbo w/o protection, and who knows how long you will be able to buy these new.

I have one, fairly new too. No leaks. Even has a pretty zinc coating on it still. Can get you a picture if you want.

Mine was leaking so I bought a barely used one, ended up taking apart my old one and fixing it, then keeping the "new" one laying around, heh.

Looking at it again, and I think it was just the o-ring. I thought it was supposed to be a flat gasket until I looked closer - it was smashed and cracked. I'm going to get a new o-ring and see if it works.

Good luck thats pretty much what I did also and it's working good now

My rig had an open in the winding... toast.

I found that, but some people said that the hose fittings were smaller on the MB part.
