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?

I appreciate the quick write up xrav22, I see you are talking about the external O Ring. But would you, or anyone else, have any insight on the inner O ring that goes around the base of the dizzy.

I pulled the image below from a 4A MR2 Dizzy rebuild write up:


This is what I believe he is asking for, just in case its not just the external O Ring. Sometimes its the internal(base) seal that is the culprit. Maybe if I can find the dimensions of the O Ring(s) I can find it at a hardware store, maybe? =] I just can't find any specs on it.
