Hi guys.
I have an oil leak from my front cover, from behind the 'plug' that seals the end of the 'plugged oil-cooler bypass valve' channel. I believe that under the 'plug' is an o-ring that does the sealing - I am guessing this o-ring has gone hard/cracked.
Would anyone know the dimensions of the o-ring concerned?
I note the the plug is retained with an internal 'C-clip'. Has anyone tried just using oil pressure to push out the 'plug' (i.e. brief cranking with fuel/ignition disabled, once the 'C-clip' has been removed)? What other ways have been used to push out the 'plug'? How stuck in there, is it?
Picture/diagram below.
