Leaking Distributor

89LX · 01-02-2009

I have an 89 LX with the 1.5 and I believe the distributor seals are leaking. Oil on trans and reach under the distributor and you find some on your finger. Its not real bad just annoying. So what does it involve to change those or whatever is there that maybe leaking? Car only has 80K so i know its not an issue with the head journals. Are the parts available at Auto Zone? Any help would be great since gonna be working on it sun.

very common problem. if u take the distributor off theres an oring on it. it's proably cracked and needs to be replaced. mine was so stiff it snaped when i bent it to get it off.

dont wory u can only put the dizzy on one way. it has an offset key that can only be put on one way. pritty much fool proof.
