I think I used Elrings a few years ago and am now seeing oil leakage. Apart from the Volvo pure gold brand, FCP stocks Elring and Reinz. Does anybody have experience with these? Others? Suppliers?

I have recently discovered that Corteco is the OEM seal.
Search rmeuropean.com etc.

I've always had good experience with Felpro for all seals and gaskets.

CORTECO is the OEM seal, I verified it myself.
