I believe the PN is the same of the 02s. I know the montero sports in the link I provided use the same PN as well. Check with your dealer - they probably have plenty in stock, sounds like this is very common problem with these engines...

BTW, this fix did fix the problem. I did not see any nicks or breaks in the original oring but it was brittle and hard. I have not dont eh harder driver side yet - its not leaking, but its on my Todos soon since Im sure the rubber is shot...

does [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Leo/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG]Mitsubishi provide a repair manual for 2002 Montero? Neither O'Rielly or Autozone carry it.
