oil leak?
It looks like I have an oil leak. Should I just change the vacuum pump o-ring?

Yea, think we talked about it here, If its the outer O -ring ( between the head and the Vacuum pump ) its listed above from systemlord, If its the main o-ring that is in the middle of the part two pump then you will need the pump.

Clean up the oil and see if it comes from the seam on the head/ pump or at the pump seam.

Thanks

I didn't know there was a second o-ring, but thanks to you now I know.
