Does anyone have oil leaking internally from the distributor? I believe there is a oil seal from the inside of the distributor housing. Has anyone replace it before?

dont believe it is a servicable part, just bad luck, sure the dist.. is mounted flush and appropriately torqued!

 

Ive replaced the o-ring on the distrubutor on my LS(SE actually). Anyway, it leaks around the distrubutor...its just an o-ring. You simply take the 3 screws out and pop the dist. off(a little oil will leak out(not much)) and then replace the o-ring and pop it back in. BTW, make sure to mark where your dist was so that the timing wont be off.

 

I know it's not the o-ring. Inside the distributor housing, there's an oil seal that keep the oil from going into the distributor when the distributor shaft is spinning.
