Vacuum pump leak, outer shell help

[rdjr74]

I need to replace not the entire thing but the outside cover (gasket inside) of it. It appears to be leaking. I went to VW dealer last night and they said VW doesn't make a gasket for that area. There is an o-ring for the inside part but that isn't what I need. Hard to believe VW doesn't make a gasket for this area. Does anyone know where to find an aftermarket gasket or am I stuck using Permatex?? Pleas see image:

I know someone out there has to have gone through this already. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hmm, can you purchase just the vacuum pump cover (assuming it includes the o-ring seal)? Whatever you do, do not use permatex.

Why not permatex. Isn't that what they make the stuff for??? Reason??? Thanks

Did you replace the new pump, or replace the seal? Mine is leaking, but still now sure it's the Oring or the seal under the cover... It's mess since oil all over the tranny, and under... Please advise if you have the same problem....

Same problem
has anyone found out if the cover seal/oring is available?

Back from the dead! All I did was buy some liquid seal stuff. Just make sure the oil is coming from there in the first place. These engines blow oil through the air flow system anyways. Built that way.
