Weird distributer o-ring oil leak problem
'05 120K 3.1V
I had some oil leakage for some time. Took it to the shop finally about a week ago, they replaced a few gaskets including o-ring under the distributer mount, paid quite a penny. Now after a few days it leaks again, by far not as hard but definitely leaks exactly under that mount on which the distributer sits. Sure I will take it back to the shop but would be nice to hear why would it still leak. Other than that the car worked and works fine. Any advice?

Re: Weird distributer o-ring oil leak problem
Yeah..too bad ..a common problem on ALL having this block, even when they have no distributor at all but just a cap....including my son's Z-34 that, even with different DOHC heads, uses the same block and gasket....

Re: Weird distributer o-ring oil leak problem
I would agree. It is very common. I've changed em 5 times myself.. The Gaskets cheap as long as you reinstall the distributor into the same position.
 Good luck, mine allways cook and the O-rings become rock hard.

Re: Weird distributer o-ring oil leak problem
Do yourself a favor, and also install an old small block Chevy paper distributor gasket (Fel-Pro part # 70194) between the top of the block and the distrubutor/oil pump drive housing. It won't leak again.
