    While under the 430 we noticed a hydraulic pump weeping a little. Can anyone give me a part number for the copper washers?
    Thanks

    That is the gear shift actuator unit. If you remove the banjo to replace the copper washer you will need to have the system bled by a shop with an SD3 or Leonardo.

    Depending on your level of comfort, a slight 1/8th turn of the bolt may snug it enough to stop the leak. Do not over tighten.

    I have that same problem .. My mechanic said they don't make that cover and the only way to fix is by replacing unit which is 10 grand isn't that insane !!!
    So I'm just going to have that cover made

    Just noticed the same leak on mine from one of the banjo bolts. barely a drop though. Went ahead and purchased a new dust cover as well since mine was showing it's age. Best place to get a replacement is here: https://www.sequparts.com/product/actuator-dust-cover-ferrari-f1/

    Does anybody know if a flush is needed to replace the cover or is it simply a dust cover as mentioned?

    Not sure you would need an SD3, i would think it would bleed using the valve and clutch mounted bleed valves and changing gear on the paddles. You also have the 3 screws on the actuator block

    Seems like the OEM plastic part fails 6 out of 5 times, so I just ordered one of these covers from sequparts to keep in my hoard of spare parts...

    I would think with all the heat in the engine bay, you wouldn't wan't an additive 3d printed plastic part. They generally aren't the best in high heat.

    can print in Nylon, stainless steel or Aluminium alloy, even some exotic metal.

    So non-home 3d printers... at that point unless you have a CNC machine at home, it's easier and maybe cheaper to just buy the sequparts one.

    I’ve had this same leak since I bought my 430. I replaced the crush gaskets during my first annual and bled with my Launch. The leak persisted though. Just a couple drops every year so I don’t feel as if it’s worth replacing yet. But I’m curious if the dust cover issues noted above can allow the fluid to drop out the dust cap?? If so I’ll plan to buy the Sequpart cap.

    Try a Dowty seal if the copper washer is no good
