But if you can verify it is actually leaking from the vacuum pump, then likely the new o-ring will seal it up.
NOTE: When removing the vacuum pump do not let the plunger rod slip out. It's two ends are different enough (can be hard to tell by eye) that the wrong side against the cam lobe will quickly wear it out. If it keeps wanting to slide out, take it out and set it aside in a way that you can reinstall it in the same orientation when reattaching the vacuum pump.

hi NGOMA and all
if i put my finger at the bottom edge of vacuum pump there is a tiny bit of oil there .as i can see a tinny line of oil on the edge of the head gasket about 30 mm each way its tiny but shows up with a very bright LED lamp .
so till i get the chance to remove the vacuum pump and fit a new gasket i just keep every thing dry as possible im loosing no oil so the leak is very tiny but its coming from somewhere , it woud be bad for me if its the head gasket as its a job i don't know where i could get it fixed . as the car has 279000. now and i have just bought all front end bushes ready for a guy to fit .
