Jim, I just happened to discover this leather seal in the catalog last
night. Which is interesting because I just installed a new oil line
last week without the seal, but I'm not really sure if it leaks. I have
run it for about an hour since I installed it, I will look tonight to
see if it has leaked and get back to you. But if it were me, I would be
hesitant to try the silicone sealant approach. I wonder if a gasket
could be made out of some old gasket material like a spare thermostat
gasket? An O-ring might be better.

Would it be okay to fashion my own seal by applying a very thin bead of
silicone sealant in the groove where the o-ring would fit on the guage?
My plan would be to let it cure completely before attaching the oil
pressure line.
Am I asking for trouble by doing this?
Jim
