leaking oil from under my distributor (d16y7) put in new gasket and still doing it i see fresh oil under dist. driving me nuts

 

It could be your cam seal. Check that and see if thats where the oil is coming from. And what gasket did you change?

 

the o ring on the dist. but still have oil leaking.

 

What engine?

 

D16Y7

 

2000 d16y7

 

the car hesitates a lil at low rpms is it possible that its leaking into the dist. or can it even do that

 

I've never heard of oil leaking into the dizzy, but could be possible? Check the rotor in the distributor, along with lookong at your spark plugs as far as the hesitation.

 

if you see oil on that side its the seal where the dizzy hits the inside of the engine. when you unbolt it.

for me, just putting in a new distributor fixed my upper end leak (old dizzy died.)

no oil cannot get into the left side of the dizzy where the spark happens....

 

Sorry. I missed your mentioned of having a D16Y7.

Oil leaking below the distributor is either coming from the distributor O-ring or the valve cover. Check both. Even though you just replaced the O-ring, it's possible to damage the O-ring during installation, so recheck it.

Having an oil leak inside the distributor is possible but is a separate problem with the internal seal, as mentioned. The seal can be replaced, but most people just replace the distributor.
