so ive noticed im leaking a good amount of oil and when i look to see where its coming from its all over the top of the transmission housing and dripping from the bottom of the distributor. my guess is that it's a seal on the dizzy and i just wanted to double check if this is #6 in the picture below is the one i would replace. thanks guys

 

yes that would be the distributor o-ring which is notorious for leaking...also make sure that your valve cover gasket on the dizzy side is not leaking also...!!!

 

ok thanks

 

buy a gasket kit, wash engine, install said gaskets, win

 

ya i was gonna clean off the oil stain after i replace the gaskets and o-rings, to see if that stops the oil leak

 

clean before you start

 

why?

 

So everything that you're working with isn't filthy while putting on new gaskets. That's just me though, you can knock out the job in any way you prefer. I just hate handling greasy parts and then grabbing new gaskets.

 

ya guess thats true. but anyways i ordered the o-ring for $.95 so im happy haha

 

if its a b series it could be a cam seal also

 

its a stock d15

 

Had this exact same problem about 1 month ago. Leak was from o-ring and valve cover on the dizz side. New gaskets and now clean as can be.
