Vacuum pump adapter to engine gasket

I found signs an oil leak from the engine into the vacuum pump on the O-320-EG2 in my Grumman. It appears that the lip seal around the shaft in the accessory adapter has failed. I located the oil seal and vacuum pump to adapter gasket, but have had trouble finding the part number and a source for the gasket that goes between the vacuum pump adapter and the case.

Any leads would be much appreciated.

Resurrecting this thread. I have the same problem: bad oil seal on the vacuum pump accessory pad (where my backup alternator is installed). Oil is getting in the alternator and slinging all over the place.

I just have a technique question. What is the best way to remove the oil seal in the vacuum pad adapter? Kinda scratching my head here. I was about to screw a sheet metal screw into it and then yank it out with vice grips, but that didn't seem very "elegant". What is the correct way to do this?
