    oil leaking out of distributor ?

    I have found oil leaking a little bit behind distributor 3 bolts retain it.

    could there be a seal that is damages to cause leak ?
    is it easy to change it, i found oil leaking where the three bolts hold it on engine.

    could there be just a seal broken ?

    There is a seal when you take out the distributor from the head. They do go bad and cause oil to leak out around there, If the seal is going chances are the valve cover gasket might need to be changed also.

      the valve cover gasket has been change already.just notice the oil leak from the seal i guess from the head.
      my idea is to
      just take it off, take old seal out then put new one in-done

      Does this sound about right ? is it only honda dealer part
      that have the seal or can i get it at napa auto ? i;m in canada.

        you can get it at any reputable car parts shop.. it's just a regular O-ring.. bring the sample for size..

          To change this o-ring housing seal?
          since ther is oil leaking, will alot of oil come gushing out when i unbolt it ?

          Does the oil need to be drained first ?

            A little oil will leak that is pooled up around it, just put a rag under the dizzy before you take it off. (its not much, just enough to need a rag)

            The o-ring is on the shaft itself, take it off w/needle nose pliers.

                thanks for info, sounds like a plan...

                by the way,

                my car is in driveway that is not leveled, flat. car is tilting forward as little,
                will this change how much oil will leak out? or should i just go to flat ground, point blank ?
