It is not an o-ring, I think it means some kind of seal.
By the way, anyone know a good online Japanese-English auto parts dictionary?
Thanks

Notes to answerer
Asker: If one had the appropriate automotive background one would probably not be asking such a question on Proz in the first place.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Kurt Hammond: Gasket or seal is most common. With appropriate automotive background, most of the English terms should be self-evident.
