826 Leak- Thanks Masked Man!

Posted by Jim Allen on February 17, 2006 at 05:52:42 from (209.173.160.22):

A while back I posted a question about an engine oil leak at the
oil filter housing on my 826D. I had replaced all the oil line o-
rings (the old ones were hard as rocks) and the block gasket.
That cut the pukage down to about a quart an hour (grin). A
gent spoke up with a suggestion and I just now had the chance
to check it out. He was dead on! Unfortunately, though I have
searched, I cannot find the post to thank the guy by name.

The "Masked Man" suggested it might be the copper seal on the
relief valve plug on the oil filter/cooler housing. Right on!! He
also mentioned having had trouble finding the copper o-ring. I
dug around in my junk drawers and found a copper crush
washer from my days as an air-cooled VW mechanic and it
worked great. To many years have passed for me to remember
exactly which seal it was, but I think it was a drain plug seal. No
more leakage on my D358. At least fo now.

Anyway, thanks Ranger! Hey, where'd he go?
