I put on a new o-ring on distributor. That still leaked and dizzy was old so i got a new one. That one leaked also from cam well it seems. I read that sometimes it leaks from that screw or those two tiny screw holes on bottom of dizzy. Is this true. I am thinking about just jamming 2 o-rings up in the there where normally the one o-ring seal is and see what happens. What could be going on here. It doesn't leak into the dizzy. IS oil getting into the dizzy shaft and then flowing out the cam well from dizzy side? Could the dizzy be too tightly mounted?

I hate to tell you to take it apart again, but I suggest that you inspect the groove surfaces on the distributor and head for damage that may be allowing oil to leak past the o-ring.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

So it probably isn't possible that oil is going up the dizzy spline shaft and before the inner seal to leak out of those little screw holes?

is a DIY on here. If that seal is bad it leaks inside the distributor.
The new oem honda o-ring slides in tighter like a real seal. I think i found my problem. Neither one of the o-rings before did this. SO anyone else get a new oem honda o-ring. I have tried 2 different brands and neither worked.
No leak at all now. Just reinforces the ideal of always get oem seals.Last edited by zedjr10; 10-06-2019, 04:37 PM.
