I have a slight oil leak from the allen bolt on the front of the engine, i know its the bolt that keeps the timing chain and cams in place so will not be removing it in search of the answer just now so don't panic!!! i do however know that there is an O-ring behind it and that it has the part number 91301-PCX-003. What i do need help with is finding this part for less than £5!! any ideas?

Why

GeordieWaz

because £5 plus postage for an O-ring is daylight robbery and why would you leave an oil leak?

Daytona-Dave

I wouldn't leave the oil leak, Did i suggest that

GeordieWaz

You didn't say that but the "why?" could have meant any part of my statement. So i just replied covering both parts. I wasn't looking for slightly arsey comments or pedants. Just a little bit of help to save several hours of searching through UK/USA websites if someone knew of a parts place that was reasonable. If i find a cheap parts shop id happily share the info!

you'll need to take yours off and measure it then go hunting, but to be honest, its only £5 and that will give you piece of mind too plus its genuine part designed for it.

It isn't an arsey reply it was a genuine question, Why would you want to buy a cheap seal that may be of the incorrect compound of rubber and could suffer premature failure, or £5 pound for a genuine seal for an 3k engine, if you could find an equivalent part that was saving you say 20 or 30 quid then i understand but i wouldn't skimp on seals

I believe you can replace the O-ring by backing the bolt out just enough to get at it. There was a thread recently where a curious owner completely removed the bolt (!) and there may be the information you need in that thread.

You could have earned an extra £5 in the time it's taken to post this thread.
