Hello friends,

My 1985 Eldorado Touring Coupe has just undergone a full major service on the HT4100 (engine has approximately 40K and is a remanufactured one replaced in 1998), for leaky gaskets.  These are notorious for the leaks, and we have successfully found and installed all but one set of:

GM #1622985 Oil Filter Adapter Gaskets, Square Cut

These are discontinued, and nearly extinct.  Wanted to buy any if you have and/or hear about a way to seal the area otherwise apart from the OEM part or equivalent.

Your help is much appreciated.  Attached are:  Description of gaskets and photo of car.  She deserves not to be "incontinent"!

Regards,

Travis
