Delirium Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I have a pretty bad oil leak from inside the distributor cap on my '92 es300. The car is misfiring badly during acceleration. I have the cap and rotor off, how do I get to the seal that is leaking oil in order to replace it? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabep Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 :whistles: Hope you know how to mark the distributor to reinstall. If you do it wrong the engine won't run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium Posted September 19, 2007 Author Share Posted September 19, 2007 yeah, I replaced the O ring, turns out it is a seal on the inside of the distributor that is leaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toysrme Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 it's keyed, it can only go one way without shattering the camshaft... take a timing light & set the base timing in diagnostic mode to 15*btdc. thank me later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
