I've watched several videos on the process, but I am confused because in about half the videos, they used the o-ring and a gasket, but in the others they only used the o-ring alone with no other gasket or sealant.

Help with strange noise.

I just purchased a 2007 Vibe and it is making an odd noise. It is constant, though it seems to vary a tiny bit with RPM. It is very noticeable in the car, but not outside the car or under the hood. So, I thought I'd post a video and see if anyone could identify it. It's sort of a whine/howl? It's qu...
