Yes, There is an oring behind that cover. Kits for vacuum pump reseal come with 3 orings . One for the pump where it mates to the head, one for the pump itself and one for the vacuum line. I got my kit on amazon.
Nima Abbasi if you're still moving and it shakes it's more like a warped brake Rotors. If you're at a complete stop and it's shaking then it could be the pump is leaking vacuum or other vacuum leaks. Or a engine mount is broken.
Nothing show ups when connected to computer, it's not a dealeraube they have more equipment and gadgets but they charge a lot.. Only happens when in complete stops and as soon as you put the gear to nuteral, it stops Thanks a bunch
mine was leaking but also filling up with oil on the vacuum side. So my advice is don't waste time changing that seal for 10$ when you can get a complete oem new pump on Amazonee for about 1/3rd of the price Mini sells them for.
Excellent Video! Crystal-clear explanation of what to do, things to watch for... and great camera angle
Leetube 3D thank you. This is one of my first videos. I like to think my new videos are a lot better. Thank you so much for watching glad they help.
Thanx Brian! I'm waiting for the o ring to show up right now ;)
Lee, where did you purchase your O Ring?
Hey thanks for the update and repair of my 2010 mini which has the same problem 🤔
Great video! To the point and direct. You solved my leak !!!
what spec did tighten the bolts down to ? thx
did u drain the engine outta oil first?
Would a bad pcv valve cause random misfires?
Did you figure out why the random misfires ?
Yeah, couple of my injectors were clogged.
where can i purchase the o-ring.
mark calvillo i also would like to know
I Replaced the O ring but it still dripping lightly from the vacuum case. is there a seal on the assembly that has the 5 torque head bolts?

Same case, did you resolve it? how?
I just found this oil leak today! Does this o-ring fail often or is it a sign that the vacuum pump is going out? Thanks!
The O-ring is the problem most of the time. Thank you for watching your writing to me!
Thanks will order it and report later on!
BlastReadingSeries where do we order this part. My local part store wanted to sell me a new vac pump >$200
Could this be the reason why my car start to shake sometimes when I come to complete stops?

Nima Abbasi also if you have vacuum leaks they would be codes stored in the PCM. Possible P0171

Nima Abbasi that definitely sounds more like a broken engine mount or transmission mount.
