You should be fine but I would recommend replacing that seal, its a 5 dollar part that could lead to a thousand dollar repair if it gets worse

Hi, I have 1 last question that really confusin me, I have a 1987 Toyota celica ST, which has 155, xxx miles and its a 4-cylinder FE. The problem is that when I accelerate off a stop sign it will go but when I floor it, the gas gauge goes down and I have no acceleration or power.I asked the dealer whats wrong with it and all they told me was to clean my fuel injectors. So, I just recently put a STP Fuel Injector cleaner but not sure if its working. Everytime I hit the gas all the way down it will rev to 2000, then climb slowly. Do you think it could be my injector, fuel pump, or just a clogged catalytic converter.

I will be apreeciated with cooperative answer, Thanks
