I am currently doing a rebuild on my sr and i noticed that my oil pump o-ring that meets the block with the front cover is flat..not using it...same with my oil pick up tube o-ring....i looked these up online and they are between $4-$10 and yes that means ill have to wait for it to arrive....well i recently found out that there's a lot of subaru parts that fit on a 240sx...and maybe ill make a separate tread later about them but for now the subaru tribeca 3.0 front timing cover shares the same o-ring size as the sr oil pump o ring, the subaru part is 806916080(o ring-16. 1x2.3) its about $1.73.
I also found an o-ring that fits perfectly on my oil pick up tube, i will have the part number tomorrow since i was able to get my hands on it late today at work, figure this may help some guys that are willing to drive to their local subaru dealer to get a $2 o-ring if they need it ASAP or are inpatient like me.

I wouldn't risk it personally. if that seal goes bad, you will lose pressure and there goes your bearings. You may get away with it but not worth the risk.
