ok need help guys i searched and came up short, friends car is dieing due to oil appearing in his distributor, do i need to change his distributor or is it just a seal, car has been running fine for a while after he put the a6 head on his b7
wow i just noticed it says im a new user, aparently if you dont log in a while, it forgets about you lol

 

the round swivel part at the end...that should also be sealed.....
solution. buy a new dizzy..sorry. that one is bad

 

ok thats what i figured but i wasnt sure

 

You can replace the shaft seal if you want to take the time to disassemble and replace it. To replace the whole distributor to me is like buying a new pair of shoes because one of you shoe laces broke. The seal is like $10 plus shipping, I just did mine about three months ago.

 

Those guys summed it up, rebuild the diz (not really that difficult... depending), or just replace it.

 

Ditto getting a new oil seal (not the o-ring). Here are a few sites I found last year that may still offer it:

Here is a how-to that may help with disassembling the housing and getting to the seal:
