[Colombian]

Hi ,

trying to fix an bad oil leak on my e36. i check real oem and my oil housing do not match. i have two little oppenings that require a gasket. they are secure with metalic rings. please see pictures.. does any one know the part number for the gaskets and the rings. i have a 1992 e36 325is coupe.

Thanks for your help.

just talked to the dealer.. these plp have no idea what it is because their diagram shows a different layout (same as real oem). The car is mostly stock so the odds are oil housing is original from factory. Good to know they are great help!! lol..

If anyone have experience with this type of leak please let me know.. thinking of using one of the make a gaskets products.. what u guys think?

The seem like your basic O rings ... can't match them at a hydraulic supply or something? They don't seem to be available as seperate part for any year filter housings

you can buy one of those o ring kits at princess auto. im sure those will work there

[Colombian]

thanks for the reply.. will check out princess auto this afternoon and top off their gasket with the "make a gasket product" just to be in the safe side !

got some look alikes from princess auto but still leaking.. been reading about this topic in other forums and apparently BMW do no sell these o-rings they want you to buy new filter housing. It has been suggested in other forums to use Viton 1000-118 o-rings... Any ideas where I can buy these in ontario?

Thanks

were the o rings thinner than the oem ones?

[Colombian]

well keep in mind that the original ones are pretty flat and hard just from being in that car since 1992. I just picked up a set that look similar and that fit the cilynder. On the site note I did not apply the make a gasket product. I am guessing they were a little too small.. or too much pressuere caused the leak

[blk3]

you can try some quality sealent along with the oil rings, give it sufficient time to dry and it should be good to go. key word here is should be

hahah thanks .. i ended up ordering the viton rings from USA.. want to make sure no more leaks (today and in one year +) .. my driveway already looks like crap... order is min 25 gaskets.. If anyone has the same problem let me know, i will have spares next week..

thanks for your help

I replaced mine last winter too with dealer OEM parts but had to give them the part number.

Part number was hard to find on the web, so I think I kept the baggy or wrote it somewhere. I'll check at home tonight and get back to you.

oops, just saw your last reply. I'll try to find it anyways if it may help others.

Part # 11-42-1-709-513, dealer charged $6 each!! Fit seemed too large but it stopped the leak.

Found it on this forum last year:
