I've noticed a slight oil leak on the top end of the turbo oil drain pipe so have picked up a new gasket to replace it, however after taking a closer look I can see the that bottom of the pipe inserts into the engine and has a rubber O-ring. I have looked about however cannot seem to find a new O-ring without having to buy a whole pipe which seems ridiculous. Has anyone else managed to find one as Ford don't seem to sell them without the pipe. I don't want to reuse the existing one unless I absolutely have to other wise I could find myself back under the car replacing it all again.

Thanks

If you can’t find a “Ford” o-ring, any oring made of high temp oil resistant Viton rubber that’s the right size will work. Either get an assortment, or pick one that’s the right thickness and the same size or ever so slightly smaller in overall diameter (orings stretch over time)

Harbor freight has a great viton o-ring kit
