Default HELP!! oil leaking from under dizzy

alright honda tech. i've been trying to find out where the hell the leakage is coming from and i cant seem to figure it out.

replaced:
dizzy O-ring
valve cover gasket

and still leaking..it seems to be coming from underneath the distrubitor but i already replaced the o-ring..could i have put it on wrong? it seemed easy enough, off with the old and on with the new.

im getting really fustrated and any help is appreciated. i hope its not my head gasket...i will post pics soon. in the mean time, any idea??

i know this sounds dumb but i had the same problem on my b16, i had to replace the oring three times before i got one to work, make sure you get your o ring from honda. if its not that head gasket would be my next guess. any oil in your coolant? any signs of overheating? by the way i recommend that all honda owners get a water temp gauge i just got one and that stock piece of **** doesnt move from 140 degrees F to 210 degrees F its bull ****

look right under the dizzy, if coming out of the hole the dizzy shaft goes in then its deff the o-ring. You can also take the dizzy cap off, sometimes they leak from inside, mine did recently and went down the block and such.

make sure you coat the o ring with non synthetic oil before you install
