My vacuum pump is leaking oil out, where a side cover is pop rivited on.
New ones are expensive! Can it be drilled apart and resealed?
If I go to the trouble, will it last?
What to do!!!!!

Yes they can be rebuilt for next to nothing, you drill out the rivets and make a gasket and seal and bolt it back together, search on AULRO as there is a write up on there with pics.

OK I had go after reading the other web site.
Luck there was pictures because when I opened it up there was a flat washer floating around in side! End up being a support / spacer for one of the valves, hit it back in and added loctite sealant. Hopefully no more leaks!!!!
Thanks for the info direction.
