The invention pertains to a sealing arrangement,, which acts between a housingand a componentinstalled in the housing, with a stop, permanently connected to the housing; with a spring, which is supported on the stop; and, with at least one first sealing elementin working connection with the spring. Abutmentis designed to be adjusted against the force of the spring such that the springis completely compressed&#x2014;squeezed into a block&#x2014;and additional load can be exerted on the sealing element, so that in particular any leakage which has developed can be stopped&#x2014;on an emergency basis&#x2014;by the exertion of additional load on the sealing element, which has the effect of increasing the sealing force which the sealing elementexerts.
