Default Fixing a 4x4 steering rack oil leak

Hi,

I'm trying to repair a leakage in the steering rack of my saph cosworth.

To fix it, I ordered to Graham Goode this seal kit wich is told to fit to my car.
http://shop.grahamgoode.com/seal-kit...14-59361-p.asp

The kit I received includes, at least, one more seal wich measures 38*24*6mm.

When I was studying different info about the rack, I found this exploded view:

Some pieces of K and L items are wich I have to change.

When I take off the rack support bush I can see it is different as shown in that view.

Support bush is divided in two parts, and the seal shown in the view isn't in this place. When you take off the support bush, you can see an oil seal wich is inserted on the carrier shown on the right, as you can see now:

This mounting is as shown in this figure:

I think that in this place I have to put the seal that comes whith the seal kit, and is not shown in GGR photo. This seal is shown here (Black and White):

First, I thought that I should have to put the Green/black one in this place, but now I am in a mess, and I think that I would have to put the black/white in that place, and close all again.

Can you confirm that or give me other explanation?

Thanks in advance!
