throttle body leak right below tps sensor

Just boost leak tested my 03 because I thought my shaft seals where leaking. All the bubbles are coming from the lower part of the throttle body tho.

There is an o-ring under that cap that is allen keyed. I think the area is called the IAC warm-up flapper, or something.

I would remove the whole throttle body though before you service it. There is a spring in there (along with smaller parts) that will shoot out once you remove the cap; it's secured by a single screw.

Thanks man. I did some looking on mil specs site and it looks like your dead on. Looks like the 03 and 04 are the only ones to have it. Next problem is I can't find a replacement o-ring for it.

Yeah, I totaly forgot what size I replaced it with. I sourced it from an old paintball o-ring kit that I had. If you have any buddies that PB, one of them is bound to have the size you are looking for if they service their markers themselves. Good luck.
