Adam, how long has the Porsche part fix been working?

I just went through addressing a long-weeping cap. The original o-ring had =
hardened and was noticeably chewed up. My not_so_friendly Audi dealer wante=
d $60 for a rebuild kit but would not try to match my O-ring. I tried to re=
place with similar looking O-rings soured from local auto shops only to hav=
e each blow a short while later spewing oil in my nice engine compartment (=
especially the sound-deadening mat)...

I decided to stop in at a Porsche/Audi dealer (Barrier in Bellevue, WA) who=
 offered a neat looking green O-ring Porsche uses in a similar environment.=
 The Porsche part # 999-707-252-40 with a list price of $12.51. Hope this h=
elps.
