Oil filler Pipe Leak

I have a leak at the oil filler pipe. If you start from the top it appears to be leaking right at the first joint/connection. there's a few bolts there so i'm assuming that there is a gasket or o-ring that needs to be replaced. Anyone know the part # and what's involved in doing this. It has to be one of the more simpler repairs that i've done on this car so far. I have a manual just haven't looked at it yet. Since i'm sure someone has done this at one time or another might as well ask the experts first........Part # and torque values would help...
THANKS
HENRY

Tom would that be still in the middle of the Atlantic ocean or did you find that garage in or near Philly? If i get you to repair something and of course i'm willing to pay it will be more than just replacing an o-ring. I do still have those modified motor mounts i purchased off of you. Since "Earthworm" has directed me in the right direction with the part # i think for $2.41 plus $2.99 shipping it would be more economical gas wise to just take care of it myself. I'll check locally first to save the shipping cost. Of course i appreciate your offer and may come knocking at your door soemtime in the future.......
Anything special need to be done replacing that o-ring, i.e. putting motor oil on it like you would do the o-ring on an oil filter....

THANKS

Just replace the o-ring.. thats all

Yeah, I found a garage in Philly and I am in the process of setting it up still. But anytime you feel like it, drop me a line

The o-ring is available locally for $3.40. I'll pick one up tomorrow and take care of it Saturday.

Was Oil Filler Leak now 2 Easy Fixes

I have a leak at the oil filler pipe. If you start from the top it appears to be leaking right at the first joint/connection. there's a few bolts there so i'm assuming that there is a gasket or o-ring that needs to be replaced. Anyone know the part # and what's involved in doing this. It has to be one of the more simpler repairs that i've done on this car so far. I have a manual just haven't looked at it yet.

=====================================

Took care of that today. Installed the $3.41 o-ring in the filler pipe. There actually was not one in there but it had just recently started leaking. Well leak no more. Was this and upgrade on the later SVX models?
I also no longer have the slamming trunk door. Replaced the trunk struts with another set. They are used but in much better shape than the ones i took off. Man i wish all SVX repairs were this easy............
