the wp new  factory $165.00
i do have the seal new 35.00 2 left in stock
used ones  75.00
they all seem to leek if they set off the car for a while but some times
reseal after runnig for some  time. it either gets better or worse though.
so yuo should know in 10 or 20 miles

HG makes no diff to the WP seal . it is a carbon pressure type and if it
cracks it is history.
