Default Re: In car oil pump replacement (faq).

Great write up! You should note to use a small amount of RTV on both sides of the gaskets to avoid leaks.

You can also get away with leaving the oil cooler lines and front turbo feed line bolted to the oil filter housing when you unbolt it from the pump. It'll easily push out of the way so you can remove the pump. Saves from having to buy new crush washers for all those banjo bolts.
