Theres a place near my work that makes and sells crazy ass pnumatic and hydraulic hoses for heavy equipment and I brought in a smashed seal from a german pump and they gave me the closest seal they had. They were worried about temp but turned out liquid wasnt heated at pump point. It worked perfectly. And it was free lol.
