o-rings get hard after 19 years, or crack, and if hard, are not soft and flexible enough to seal up.
the pipe can have rust in this spot and , if true, even a new 0-ring cant seal there.
all that matters is what is there, time, age ,rust and contamination at that point.
some guys, just remove it, clean it and RTV it all up, plant it and pray (wait 24hr for the RTV to cure) this pipe has 12PSI pressure.
Thanks again, new at Suzuki repairs. Is the "O" ring available ?
And, one more important question. Will removing the manifold give me access to the front freeze plug without taking the intake off?
