I guess you mean the o-ring seal for the upper radiator plastic elbow?
If so, I suspect it will need either a new o-ring or a new elbow. The plastic bits are always a source of trouble in the cooling system. I believe Rimmer were selling a steel alternative together with the ring, but I haven't been alble to locate details. The Rimmer site gets worse by the week (IMO).


EDIT:Just found this on eBay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-M...AAAOSwMLBan9RH
Rimmer price £22.36 plus postage.
