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
