Vacuum pump - oil leak

Hi,

I have a model ECVP425 vacuum pump from easy composites (about two years old) that has started leaking oil while running. The oil appears to be seeping out around the oil-level window seal while the pump is running, creating quite a puddle on the floor after 24hrs. Can you tell me what type of seal is used (glue-sealant or O-ring)? If it is an O-ring, what size is it, as I can probably get that locally to me.

Thanks,

Phil.
