Smile Where can I get an 'O' ring from?

Sorry for such a basic question (wasn't sure where exactly to post this), I have a 1995 Jap Wrx and the steering wheel oil sump thing needs a new 'O' ring which has not stoppped leaking...

Any idea where I can get one from and how much I should be spending?

Thanks in advance

Arrow BSL

Try BSL, they have branches in most large towns and are excellent, we buy thousands from them in Luton, for fitting to fire extinguisher head assemblies.

Get one from a welding equipment supplier. Cost you about 10p.

Unhappy Still leaking...

Thanks for all the advice everyone, but even after replacing it with a simple 'o' ring... it still leaks...

I think its called a steering wheel oil resevoir seal... coincidently looks like an 'o' ring but is slightly round on the edges...

Any other suggestions... is it possible to obtain this part on its own (original)... or do I have to buy the whole resevoir for £65.00 ?

Thanks in advance

Subaru do these seals, there are 2 types depending on year, one being bigger than the other.

I assume you mean the seal at the bottom of the OEM reservoir.

They cost all of 65 p each, main dealer ( ordered ) part.

Depends if your local dealer will support Jap Imports, if not let me know and I can get you 1 of each, £2 for both inc P&P!!
