We're talking about the Dipstick tube o-ring, not the flange o-ring in the pan.
Engine bay stays real clean after doing the CCV Mod. That's the main reason I did it.
The o-ring takes a half hour or less to replace and your's may not even leak after doing the mod.

I gotcha Robin, and I understand why people do the CCV mod. The benefits just aren't great enough in my opinion and I have seen enough CCV mods gone wrong to keep me leery. Not saying this is one of those cases.

Don't blame you at all. I have done Mods that I would not do again on another truck. Sometimes it's just not worth it.

Postive Crankcase Pressure is always possible when ever doing the standard ccv mod. That is one of the main reasons I did a catch can plumbed back into intake.

Doing the mod, are you not, taking the positive crankcase preaaure, outta the equation?

Those copper compression washers are meant to be torqued to spec. and replaced each time. If not, they leak or you have to over-tighten them. You can get a hard plastic washer from Auto Zone or other parts houses that fit the bolt and cost under $1.00. They can be re-used over and over again. Several auto makers use this technology so when you go to the dealer for an oil change, they include the bolt and washer with the price.
Good Luck!
