Oil pumo o-ring and gaskets
I am starting to get the stuff together to assemble my 96 1.8, 7 months after taking it apart. For some reason I could sware there was an o-ring on one of the oil pump ports that connect to the block for oil feed. Is this right? If so does anyone have a part number. I can't find the o-ring on any of the parts diagrams I have and cannot find a o-ring that fits in my rebuild gasket/seal kit.

The opening towards the top right of the pump as shown has the groove around the port that looks like an o-ring should go there. I did notice today that the gasket that came with the oil pump had this whole area covered so that might be all the sealing that is needed. I just want to make sure that this is done right, after all we are talking about the oiling system here.

I am/was also confused about that. Also an o-ring for the water pump. Where the hell does that go? The factory gasket kit I got had both oil and water pump o-rings but I sure didn't see where either would go. Engines together but not installed yet. If I missed something important now is the time for me to straighten it out.

I am trying to avoid the "Oh, where does this piece go" problems. Especially after everything is assembled. I have the o-ring for the waterpump. If I remember correctly there is one in between the block and pump and one for the heater tube to the mixing manifold. I might just go by the stealership and see if they have a parts diagram that shows that o-ring. Does anyone know what kind of o-ring it would be? My father in-law works at a seal place and can get me any kind of o-ring you can imagine. I just need to know what kind.
