The genuine Volvo Penta OEM gasket for selected power steering pump and steering system assemblies.

Always confirm the correct part number against your engine or steering system serial number and the Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering.
Key Features
- Genuine Volvo Penta OEM gasket — factory material and dimensional specification
- Seals the specific joint or housing connection in the power steering pump or steering system assembly
- Listed in Volvo Penta power steering pump and steering component parts diagrams
- Direct OEM replacement — match by part number and serial number, not by appearance alone
Compatible Applications
- Selected Volvo Penta power steering pump assemblies
- Selected Volvo Penta steering system component assemblies
- Exact fitment varies by engine model, steering arrangement, and serial number range — always confirm using your engine or steering system serial number and the Volvo Penta parts diagram before ordering
When to Replace
Replace this gasket whenever:
- The original seal is leaking or weeping steering fluid
- The gasket is damaged or torn during removal
- The related housing or connection is opened during steering system service
- The gasket has flattened or hardened from age and no longer provides a reliable seal
As a best practice, always replace the gasket any time the joint is disturbed — reusing a compressed gasket is a common cause of post-service leaks.
Installation Notes
- Clean both mating surfaces fully and inspect for scoring or distortion before installing the new gasket
- Confirm the gasket matches the exact diagram position for your assembly before installation
- Do not reuse the old gasket — replace with a new OEM part every time the joint is opened
- Tighten related fasteners evenly to avoid distorting the gasket or sealing surface
- Check for leaks after the first run following installation
Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: This gasket is most commonly needed during power steering pump service, when diagnosing a steering fluid leak, or any time the steering pump or related housing is removed. At $10.10, it’s an inexpensive part to replace proactively — reusing a compressed or aged gasket is one of the most common causes of a repeat steering fluid leak after service.
Common Questions: Customers sometimes ask whether a gasket of the same thickness and shape can substitute — for Volvo Penta steering system applications, we always recommend using the correct OEM part. Gasket material, compressibility, and fluid compatibility all matter in a hydraulic steering system. Matching by serial number and diagram position is the safest approach, as similar-looking gaskets can differ in ways that aren’t visible by eye.
Technical FAQ
Q: How do I confirm this is the correct gasket for my steering system?
A: Use your engine or steering system serial number to look up the power steering pump or steering assembly diagram in the Volvo Penta parts catalog. The gasket will appear at the specific joint position. Contact us with your serial number if you need help confirming.
Q: Can I reuse the old gasket if it looks undamaged?
A: No — gaskets that have been compressed under load should always be replaced. Even if the old gasket appears intact, it will not seal as reliably as a new one and is a common source of post-service leaks.
Q: What fluid does the Volvo Penta power steering system use?
A: Refer to your engine operator’s manual for the correct fluid specification. See the Sierra Power Trim & Steering Fluid for a compatible option.
