Distributor Leak

[RLZ]

Hi guys, the distributor has been rebuilt a year ago on my car, i found it leaking oil today, does it need another rebuild again? is possible the cover seal got burn from the header? I have a heat boot on the dizz also the header has the heat shield too. I really dont know why it leaks again, also i grabbed a ae92 dizz heat shield does it fit ae86s? Thanks!

Can you tell where it's leaking from?
The seal kit should fix it for another decade or two but there is always the chance that you nicked the seal or oring on installation or got some debris in there or something that weakened the seal.
It's also possible for the cam seals leak and work it's way over far enough for you to think it's the dizzy.
I just ordered a batch of o-rings for the dizzy. They should be in early next week. I hope to have bearings and seals real soon to offer a full rebuild kit of my own.

I saw there is some oil around the screw of dizzy cover, I put my finger underneath the dizzy it's sticky and oil all over my finger, the engine been rebuilt a year ago also and I always check the valve cover and tighten it. so I believe the leaks is from the dizzy..where do you buy the Orings? I think there are 2 rubber Orings in there right?

I will have them available next week. I just need to wait for my order to come in so I can confirm size and figment.

There is one o-ring that seals the dizzy housing to the head and one o-ring on top that seals the cap and the housing.
I would suggest pulling the cap off and looking inside to make sure it's not leaking from the shaft seal. If that is dry then a new o-ring should fix you up.

Oh I see, the cap will not effect the timing right?

i took some pics when the cover off, i think the leak is from the shaft seal but im not 100% sure..

I think I might just buy a new dizzy, do you guys think this will fit? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ARJNUS ... 046&sr=8-4

It's not the o-ring that's around the shaft of the distributor. Looks like it's the seal (bearing?) around the drive shaft of the distributor rotor. I've got the same issue.
