CR,
No, it had no sleeve and they measured the seals and they were oversize
seals of rather dubious shape. Actually I did not malign them I just told
how it was - It leaked, it was bored oversize and had oversize seals
fitted. And Lazar of Apple said they do do that ! I also put out a
message saying how responsive they were - I give credit where is due, and
debit when that is due !! I am now fitting a new unit and will eBay the
unit that Apple will redo for free
By the bye. Apple's web page says they re-sleeve for $125 (which I paid)
and it is not quite clear about the quick rebore and oversize seals. So I
paid for resleeve and got bored a point that would have gone unnoticed if
it had not leaked
