it seems like its leaking from the distributor o ring but i changed it and its still leaking what else could it be

Former User

Is there oil inside the distributor? OEM O-ring? Check whether the O-ring was damaged during installation.

Other possibilities are a leak from the valve cover or VTEC solenoid.

swizz977

no its not the valve cover or the vtec soplenoid the only place its comin from is the distributor o ring but i changed it.. and its still leakin

swizz977

unless its the head gasket just on the left side but i doubt it cuz my car runs fine

Former User

Incorrect installation or wrong O-ring can cause a leak.

maby ill try to get a o ring from honda

swizz977

wat if its the wrong dizzy

Blzdeep

i replaced my cam seal, and a week later my o ring on my Dizzy started leaking....get an oem, like stated and try again. make sure to clean it well.

swizz977

wheres the cam seal? left or right side?

Former User

Opposite side of the distributor.

swizz977

well its no the cam seal since its a d16z6

swizz977

what does the solinoid leak from??

chinochanginc

also, the distributor has a seal on the inside of it. If you open the distributor and there is oil in it, the inner seal is bad. honda does not sell this is seal. they make you buy the whole dizzy. you can get it go to thepartsbin.com and look for the distributor seal... you have to dismantle the distributor to get to the seal on the inside..

swizz977

thats different then the o ring?

TheCivicMafia

Yes, its a "Non-Repairable" Unit. So they call it. You have to gut the dizzy to get to the seal.

But this isnt bad unless your dizzy is wet on the inside, and usually your car wont run or atleast not for long with oil in the dizzy.

Former User

If there's no oil inside the distributor, the distributor seal is fine.

swizz977

im pretty sure its leakin from the o ring but i put a new one on.. i actually put one on and it was still leakin then i put another on.. still leaking.. but they werent from honda i dont think so idk what else it could be

its been said already man, the dizzy o-ring may have been installed improperly (oem or not)

pull it and check

swizz977

ok so we took the cap off today and there was no seal at all around the cap.. so we put one there it basically goes around the whole dizzy.. are there any more seals for the dizzy?

swizz977

bump?ppp

CONTRADEL

o ring could have been damaged or ripped out during the repair.

do you have any pics?

swizz977

which o ring??

Nichelson_Performance

Dumb question. Is your car turboed or does it have lots of miles making it have excessive blowby and the distributor oring is usually the first to leak from the extra pressure....try another oring, one that fits the groove nicely and takes a SMALL amount of force to push into the head, also rub some clean motor oil aruound the oring before you put the dizzy back in

BLVD. kreeper

wished my engine leaked instead of having burning oil
