oil leak @#$?...

I've previously done a valve gasket job which i can confirm is not leaking.

After degreaseing my engine twice it appears my oil leak is in the general area below my distributor. Are there any common leaks from that area?

All input is deeply appreciated.

Yes, the distributor frequently leaks by the oring on the distributor key that engages the end of the camshaft. Oil should be coming out along the cylinder head where distributor shaft enters. Oring is readily avaiable from Honda.

If oil is dripping from distributor housing, the internal seal has failed. It is not easily replaceable but is do-able If you're determined. PM me w/ your email and I'll send a file of instructions/pics. Many simply replace distributor.

good luck
