Yes there should be an "O" ring in the groove on the TB (or is it on the Elbow, I forget one, or the other anyway)costs like 20+ from MAZDA but an identical "O" ring should be available from most motorcycle shops for around $3-$4

Yeah ... a nice vacuum leak and everything that comes with it.

It cost me $17 at my dealer. Pisses me the **** off, I could've bought a new CD and lunch.
