    I posted about this a few years ago, but didn’t get a definitive answer. Asking again to see if there’s any new info out there. My 360 has been weeping oil from the area of the 2 seals (144487 and 183044) on the main oil line ever since I owned it. The supersessions are available for the 144487, but I’ve never been able to find one for the 183044.
    Anyone have any intel on replacement parts, supersessions, alternatives or sources for whatever NOS gaskets remain out there?
    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Those are unique (to my personal knowledge). And stupid expensive. I purchased a couple from eurospares a few months ago. They still list them but are “special order”

    I’d Call and ask.

    That’s been my experience while hunting. You were able to successfully buy one through them?
    Did you have the same weeping from that pipe, and did it solve the issue?

    No weeping but with all the work I did I noticed when I went to re use it the silicone inner part was loose so I ordered it to avoid a problem in the future.

    I have used plain copper crush washers on those for a very long time with no issues. Ferrari used to as well. In my opinion that design was a fix for a non existent problem.
    Probably a result of a good sales job by a vendor to the factory.

    Thanks Brian, I wondered why it was so different than crush washers. Wish I had that info before paying that ridiculous price.

    Interesting and good to hear. If it’s good enough for you, it’s good enough for me. Do you know the size off the top of your head?
    And last question: Does the pipe attach to the engine in a location where I don’t need to drain the oil to R&R the seals? Or will a full drain be necessary?

    D.41,4X32,64 is what I have in my notes. Not sure; seems strange.

    10264660 is the other side of that banjo fitting, and it measures D. 26-32X1.5

    Before I try to swap these out today, I’ll ask again if I can do so without draining the oil, or if the oil at rest in the sump sits higher than the hole on the block.
    Thanks!
