It fits between the cylinder head and the engine block to seal the oil drain passage, preventing oil leaks and keeping the return path to the oil pan intact. Replace this seal anytime the cylinder head is removed—such as during a head gasket job or overhaul—because the rubber can harden, crack, or take a permanent set, leading to external oil leaks or cross-contamination.
