Yep...there is a big O ring for the pump to the body seal, etc Check rock auto for the seal kit.. (most Mopars are going to be similar type to do the job on even with different styles of pumps.)

V6 and 4 bangers had multiple styles. Without you mentioning what you're working on it's like playing dentist. We're pulling teeth trying to get answers. So, help us help you. WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON? A Lotus Elise perhaps? We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
