Default oil in distributor cap?


I getting oil in my distributor cap, the shaft o-ring looks ok. Is there some other o-rings somewhere causing oil to leak past the shaft? Is it easy to fix? If not does anyone know where I can get a new dizzy without an internal coil for a '00 B16A2

thanks

That gasket won't let in oil tho... just moisture...

and if it's not the gaskets/o-rings then check to make sure your dizzy is bolted down properly..... if it is, crack the valve cover and check that the cams are in there tight. you could have some play in the hardware.

I replaced the cap and the gasket for the cap, but I heard there is another o-ring besides the one that is on the shaft. Someone told me there is another inside the dizzy housing. I dont know I think it would be easyer to replace the whole thing then take it all apart and probably mess something up worse. I'll check the cam but if the cam or dizzy isn't bolt down tight or properly it should viberate..right?
thanks for all the quick replys
