Hiya,

I'm a newbie here and discovered a problem in Morocco when the housing started leaking.

I have a 1999 2.8 Ducato with a 8140.43 engine in a Hymer E650 motorhome

A mechanic arrived and stripped the hoses and housing from the engine and said the leak was from the joint between the housing and the engine.
When they rebuilt everything I realised they had not used a gasket but some sort of joint sealant.
The question is ,should there be a gasket ( I would have thought so )and where to buy one.

I have searched everywhere.

The housing has done e few thousand Km's since and is fine at the moment.

I would be really grateful for any advice...regards

Something like WYNNS BLACK SILICONE RTV GASKET MAKER PROFESSIONAL can be used to replace a pre cut gasket. If it were me I would leave well alone.

+1 for black rtv its holding half the agricultural vehicles in the world and classic cars together, once the old gasket is properly removed and mating faces prepared its a good job.

Hi,

"corcai " and "rayc" many thanks will order some straight away. The product is new to me but we'll carry some in the tool kit from now on.

Many thanks

Incidentally halfords were clearing the lovery 200ml si 5980 dispensers last time I was in. Makes it much easier to apply a neat continuous bead.
