Got my o-ring from ECS yesterday. I'm due an oil change in about 2K miles, so think I'll hold off on replacing till then.

You will also need a new lower oil pan gasket. Also, be careful when you take off the oil level sensor.

So true and with all cars...no wonder all parking spots seem to always have oil drip spots in the front.
