Nice short cut Steve.

What problems does a worn O ring bring. Does it leak?

yeah, oil leaks down the back of the engine onto the heater hoses + the rubber bung on the back of the intake. It'll make them brittle/split fairly quickly.

It that the one that also holds on the coilpack ?

Thats the CAS 1.8 bolt AFAIK.. the one for the coil pack is down further.
