My Lippert hydraulic pump is leaking fluid at the O ring. I called lIppert and was advised that I would have to buy an entire pump; they do not sell replacement parts. The receptionist wanted my full name for their records when/if I call for further assistance.
I advised her there was no need for that information because I would never call back.
I don't see any model or other identifying numbers on the hydraulic pump, but it appears the O ring is about 4 inches in diameter.
Can anyone advise a corresponding aftermarket O ring?
I was thinking maybe take the O ring to NAPA for matching.
TIA

Most any larger city should have a seal and gasket supply house. Take it to them. Should tskr them about 3 mintes to match it up for you.
Lippert had some issues a few years ago with warped flanges. How old is yours?

You should add your location to signature.
There should be some markings on pump. Lippert replacement pump discription may have some idea who makes the pump.
A hydraulic shop should have selection of O-rings.

It's the common Lippert modus operandi.

You might do better by going to a bearing/seal/o ring supply house such as United technologies. Search bearing supplier, hydraulic shop, cylinder rebuilding.
Clean the parts up and take them with you. They will usually have a vernier etc on hand to measure shafts and bores. Some places are strictly give us a part number types vs some places are hands on and help figure out what you need. Sometimes quantities may be a package of 5 or 10

A rental agency for commercial equipment (lifts, digging equip, etc) is another option. Since they rent machines from many manufacturers they carry a variety of types and sizes.

Before I retired making o-rings was a common task for ancient hydraulic elevator valves. Info below.
