| AIR Pierburg brake vacuum pump oil leak |
|
Coincidentally while replacing the alternator recently, I found a fresh engine oil leak located on the brake vacuum pump. I cleaned it up and monitored it for a week to see if I could pinpoint the source of the leak and determined it's definitely where the pump is fastened against the oil pan. This would lead me to believe it could be as inexpensive as simply replacing the gasket. However I am torn. The R&R is the same either way, I'm doing an oil change next week and the cost of a new pump which appears to come with a new gasket isn't that expensive. Oddly enough searches show quite a few comments on this leak on Land Rovers yet Jaguar use the same pump and gasket and while more plentiful, I could find nothing at all referencing these leaks.
Any one here have thoughts or experience with this and what would you do and why?

Brake Vacuum Pump.
I just picked up a "new to me" 2010 Range Rover Sport.
This one is Stornaway Grey. Nice looking truck with nice luxury features. Along with the luxury features, it also has an oil leak at the Brake Vacuum Pump. I can't tell if it is the gasket between the pump and the engine block or from the cover on the pump itself.
I see that there is a new seal available from Land Rover for about $20 ($38 at my local dealer). But that is only for the pump to engine block seal. I don't see a seal available for the pump cover. Does anyone know of a source for the pump cover seal?
If not, would high temp RTV work in that application? Thanks Phil
