distributor leak
I have a motor oil leakin from my distributor. I installed a new o-ring for it but that didn't fix the problem. I'm sure someone knows the answer to this

Re: distributor leak (blackmfoggie)
Does the oil leak outside of the distributor, against the head? Right where the O-ring is? Then you have to look for scratches in the surfaces where the O-ring seats.
It's also possible that the leak isn't really from the distributor O-ring. That O-rins sits in a bore formed by the last cam cap bolted to the head. It may be leaking out from the surface between the cam cap & the head. Use HondaBond or Permatex Grey for that.
If it's leaking INSIDE the distributor, coming out where the distributor cap sits, then you need a new distributor body. I don't think that internal shaft seal is replaceable.
