Looks like there is a propper "o-ring" style gasket that is shaped to fit in the groove - best goto your mitsubish dealership

No problems

 

just rang main dealer and thay say it probaly came with o ring but on there pc it shows sealent, looks like you only get oring with new housin so gona be a bitch

andy

 

Can you not get a large o-ring that will fit in the groove all the way round, and then boil it in water to soften it, then press it into the groove using the sealer as a glue to hold it in place?

 

im gona just see what happens with the sealent first, after that i will try and get a o ring from somewere

andy

 

I'd personally try the o-ring first

 

I tried to tell you to stay away from jap crap
