None,apart from possibly the "top hat" seal between the breather tube box and the plenum.

edit.Guide seems to say different but Ive never renewed the ones mentioned in many breather cleans,and never had a problem. :-\

Can you buy those 'Top Hat' seals from the dealers?  As mine seems to suck air from beneath the black breather box when cold, but then stops when it's warm.  I tried grease and 'black goo' but can't seem to cure it...  :-\

OP - sorry for hijacking but I guess its relevant to your query!  ;)

Guide is correct, the small O ring seals can sometimes be damaged when the assembly is taken apart hence best to get some when doing the job. They are mega cheap anyway.
