Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

    Distributor Help

    I just bought my First Honda its a 1990 Accord Ex auto Trans. When I bought it the Owner says its Leaking Oil from the Distributor. I was Wondering should I Buy All New O-rings/Seals or just a New Distributor.

    It Still Starts and Runs Perfect its just when I turn my car Off it Smokes from where Oils been Leaking on to Everything. Any Help would be Appreciated

    Please turn caps lock off. It is difficult to read.

    You can replace the seals, but if the distributor has already been damaged by getting oil inside, then it will fail sooner or later. Worth a shot, but be prepared to replace it.

        Did your last post get deleted? I could have sworn I already answered this.

        Sounds like you're leaking oil from the distributor o-ring. Take the distributor off, replace the o-ring, put it back on, and use a timing light to fine-tune the position of the distributor. There's a DIY on here somewhere about the timing adjustment, I can't find the link right now.

            kinda of a DEJA VU to me

            @Andre93 <== make sure that you engine is not overfilled with oil, because I did and thought it was the distributor seal and got through a lot of trouble later on. Believe me hot oil can do a lot of bad stuff to the under hood components first of them .. is your electric plastic connectors .. they'll become like potato chips and will start to easily break ... not to forget oily spark plug wires <= really a pain in the ass to clean them up .. track the oil leak as soon as possible ... could be the distributor seal or leaking from underneath the upper engine cover <= if it is the latter, then it is an overfill.
