I have a leak as per the attached pictures (vacuum pump originally installed by the factory is 272 230 04 65). I realize this is not the latest as the updated pump is 272 230 05 65. I am not inclined to change the whole pump until I make sure that the seals are not the culprit. I got the O-ring from the dealer for under $2.5, and I am looking for the gasket as well but I don't have the part number for it. Could some one please pass me the part number for the gasket seal for this pump (#272 230 04 65), or for the update pump (272 230 05 65) for that matter?

shows some types of gasket for an older model vacuum pump for the W124 platform.

Is just shows that the previous generation vacuum pump was serviceable. Did MB follow the non-serviceable approach with the new models?
