I have a suspected oil leak at the banjo bolt on the back of the block. It's up near the top on the passenger's side. Is there a gasket there that I can replace? I found this on STM's website. Is this the gasket that goes with that banjo bolt?

I believe the part you have posted goes on the oil pan to oil drain from the turbo. I assume you have an evo 9 so you would have a Mivec line on that side of the block. Best bet is to call STM and explain what is happening. Banjo bolts usually get copper crush washers, not gaskets.

I am not 100% certain, as I have a evo 8 (no mivec), that is where the mivec valve is.

I would think that would throw a low pressure/ mivec not operating type code. Again I dont have a mivec motor so I dont know if my info is correct.

 

sounds like the mivec oil line, the banjo bolts need copper washers on both sides of the banjo. the part u linked is NOT what your looking for.

 

Yeah it is the MIVEC line, and copper crush washers are what I need...so anyone know where to get them, and what the part number is??

 

Take the copper washer from your car to the corner auto parts store.

 

I can't exactly drive the car to the store with the mivec line off haha. I'm sure someone knows what size is needed and where to get it. Just trying to find out so I can get everything I need and at the next oil change, I'll change the washers then.
