Icon6 Ol Leak

Wuddup Fellas,
So I'm lookin' to fix an oil leak problem I've got, but not sure where it's coming from. When I bought the car the original owner said that there was an oil leak around the distributor, but to be honest I have never heard of an oil leak from the distributor. Can anyone enlighten me on what he was actually talking about? Also, it seems that when you live in the middle of BUMF*%k nowhere it's impossible to buy a gasket for the vtec solenoid of a d16z6, anyone know a site where I can pick one up?

Distributor leak is common but the only place you will get a replacment part ( O-ring) is a dealership. Try ebay just make sure its OEM.

You may be able to purchase a replacement O-ring for the distributor at your local auto parts store.

theres a seal inside the distributor, after you pull all the internals out you will see it.

i had the same problem when i did a b7 to z6 swap last year. i went through O rings and it was still leaking. i then pulled the dizzy cap off to find the inside of the distributor soaked in oil, so that told me that the internal seal had failed.
