My MF202 has a Cessna power steering pump on it. It's leaking oil from the top cover gasket. I got a new gasket from Agco, but what I was wondering is this. In the MF202 parts book when referring to that cover gasket part number, it says it also comes with a tube of glue.
So, does that gasket need to be glued to the top? I have not tried to put it in yet though. Isn't there like a recess that the gasket should fit into in that cover? Does it fit so loose that it needs to be glued in place to keep it in there when putting the cover back on? The Agco gaskets didn't come with any glue.
One other thing. Concerning the bolt that holds the top cover on, the book shows a gasket on that but Agco's info listed it as a washer which they say is no longer available. I'm thinking that this may have been a copper washer that works as a gasket when you tighten down that top bolt. I purchased an assortment of copper washers from Harbor Freight that I will try on it.
Any actual knowledge about this stuff would be appreciated.
Thanks guys.
