• Oil seepage around the distributor housing
• Worn or flattened distributor seal material
• Leak-related contamination near ignition components
• Service replacement during distributor maintenance
• Seal deterioration from age and heat cycling

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the distributor housing and sealing surface before installation. Clean away old oil residue and any remaining seal material so the new O-ring seats evenly. Verify the distributor is correctly positioned during reassembly, and confirm the seal is fully seated before returning the vehicle to service.
