Hey I own a Jaguar XK8 2001 Coupe.

I'm set to take my car into the shop on Tuesday and I have the parts needed to fix my oil leak coming. The rear main seal should be here in Monday but I need to also buy the plug (galley plug) in case that is also having a leak as well. But I can't find the part number or where to get the correct part. Or should a mechanic shop/transmission shop which is where I'm taking already have that available? Or do they have to use what's already there and reseal?

I don't want to fly in blind and delay the fixing of my xk8 any longer, it's already been benched for 3 weeks now.

Please provide pictures if you have any, part numbers or links. I want to do this right and one time only.

 

Don't you just need to seal up the one you have with teflon tape or thread lock?

I think this is the correct parts list: https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.../brand/jaguar/

 

Thats one way, but I heard others just replace it. If that's an option then I can instruct the shop to do that

Update, I ended up just using the galley plug already on the block and having them reseal with thread lock.

 

Only the seal needs to be renewed, not the threaded plug itself.
