How urgent is it to replace? Until I get a replacement is there a substitute that I can use?

OTOH, latex and oil may not mix too well..... Anyway, no huge urgency, though random drops of oil can be a bit messy....nothing at all like losing a dipstick.

I got a replacement from Scooterpartsco. https://scooterpartsco.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=783b17db988a3dd99fec4b138eb83c8e&keyword=oil+bubble&x=0&y=0[url][/url]

They look like they have already been used. Either that or they are meant for the French market, so they match the headlights. The two loose ones are the same part number, last time we got them, and the ones still in the bags are the brand new ones. Strange.
