Has anyone found them locally? I can find pump seal kits online all day, but I just need the 2 o-rings that fit on the pressure hose shaft on the pump. Attempted to use 2 generic o-rings from a large kit, but once the car started, they started leaking again.

I gave up and order the whole seal kit from the dealer. Problem solved. $20 can't beat that for oem parts.

In a pinch ( out of town once and on a weekend another ) I used two small(er) o-rings stretched tightly. There is very little clearance between the banjo bolt and PS hose end.

BTW both times it worked great, no leaks.

Local parts stores usually have a nice bin selection of O-rings. Usually around $.40 or so each. Where I have always gotten mine from and no probs. Screw $20 for 2 O-rings.

It's $20 for all the o-rings. I'm gonna reseal the whole thing and not worry about the pump frying my alternator anymore.
