Stumbled upon an oil leak at the OMP. The rubber gasket is still situated on the OMP, I made sure of it during my SOHN installation. Do I need to re-torque the bolts or is the o-ring the culprit or is it something entirely else? Would this cause the adapter to not feed 2-stroke? Car is a series 1 early 2004.

I appreciate any feedback.

Did you use a bit of RTV on the gasket for the Sohn adapter?

No, i'll see if I can find something like that around the house, if not i'm off to the store. I'm thinking about replacing that O-ring with the one supplied in the kit for a peace of mind.

when I installed my sohn I used high tack gasket maker. I put it on the paper gasket as well as the small rubber one.

I hope that's all there is to it so I can be on my way. I'll probably skip the sealant on the paper gasket since it's only leaking from the OMP. What else could cause a leak? Oil lines?

I chased one like this. Ended up filling the o-ring groove with RTV, putting in the o ring, and putting a bit more on the top.

I hate to resurrect this thread 4 years later, but I also have a leak with my Sohn adapter. Does anyone know the part number or where I could order replacement gaskets?

Thanks!

You can buy a sheet of gasket paper and make your own gasket all day. That's how I fixed mine.
