Afternoon all!

I had an oil leak from my dipstick so removed the seals and yes they were knackered. I bought new ones from import car parts but when refitting them, I wasn't happy with the fit.

I have now bought new ones from the dealership and the photo is what it looks like now refitted and bolted down. Is this right? The second of the two seals just looks loose almost..... Any ideas please?

And yes, two seals have been removed so it isn't one stuck in the feed to the sump, that was my first thought lol

Thanks! Adam

No, it should sit further in than that, when you tighten the bolt holding the tube on the cylinder head does it pull the tube out of the sump ? if so you need to tweak the bracket.
Also have you put any form of lube on the o rings ?

I put a lick of oil on them to give them a better seal. I can't get it to physically go in any further regardless of the bracket. Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply

The orange o rings do expand with contact with oil / gease etc, it may well be the issue, as you put oil on them before fitting, the only stuff I found to fit them with is silicon sealer, then only a smear of it.
