Distributor leaking oil
Hey guys,
I pulled my distributor to clean it and ever since, it has been leaking oil to a point where it pours onto the exhaust manifold. I'm thinking its just a gasket, but are there any other possible causes?

lmao, youll have to excuse scotty, hes just being scotty, actually you need both. the o-ring fits in a grooved slot under the bottom lp of the dist. then there a paper gasket that fits under the dist base when you put it down.

are you a big block?
if i remember correctly, there is no extra gasket, just the o-ring that is on the distributor
either that is bad, or your PCV and breathers are clogged, so the high pressure in the engine is forcing the oil out of the distributor, or the bushings in the distributor are worn out, and the o-ring cant hold back all the oil that is making its way up to it
