Dizzy Seals Question, Have a bit of an oil leak problem... Options

[tech_cruz787]

Hello All,

I apologize for not being as avid as a user as I had expected to be when I first got my 95 ST. Lack of money and being a pretty diligent college student my time for my Celi has been limited. On top of the major set back of the semester: getting my first three tickets ever, in one sitting, one stop sign away from my housing by an undercover DB total $342 (rant can be posted if you guys would like to hear about it...lol) =/ But I've been working really hard and have a little bit of money to take care of quick and easy issues and mods for now.

But on to my actual issue. I've been having a bit of an oil leak problem. Thankfully a have a master mechanic of a neighbor that helped me narrow it down to it being my distributor. He is so savvy that he told me to find a specific seal that I cannot quite find online. I'm pretty sure it is the "inner shaft seal" for the distributor that I've read a little about already. I will also be getting the standard O Ring for the distributor which should be easy to find, order, and replace from what I've read.

I would really appreciate any heads up on this inner seal matter and if anyone knows where I might be able to find it?

Hi there yes it is probably leaking and a nice place to start oil cleanup process.

1 buy distributor o ring from toyota dealer
2 remove airbox carefull not to break any hardened rubbers or wires
3 mark and remove plug wires
4 mark by screw and unscrew dizzy (mark so your timing will be the same after).
5 pull it straight out ,change the o ring and push it right back in.
6 put dizzy in may have to apply pressure and get it exactly where it was and tighten

Put everything back and snug up valve cover as that likes to leak to
