Found a vacuum leak on the air elbow from the AFM to the TB. The large vacuum line that goes from the air elbow to the oil fill tower has a metal piece that fits into the air elbow on one end and the vacuum line on the other end. The air elbow is a few years old from 914Rubber. If I remember correctly I think that metal piece actually came with the air elbow. In any event, I noticed that the fit was very loose today. I could easily pull the metal piece from the air elbow. When I did I noticed the metal piece had some black goo that was holding it in place but had let go. Of course L-Jet doesn’t like vacuum leaks. I’m wondering what I can use to ‘glue’ that piece back into the air elbow. It would need to be able to handle having some oil on it (remember the vacuum line that attaches to this metal piece runs to the oil fill tower.
Pics attached. Any suggestions? Attached thumbnail(s)
