Oil leak from Distributor.... or somewhere else?

Post by Shinnster »

Hi all,
I have oil leaking onto the engine casing from somewhere which I assume is coming up from the distributor but just wanted to check if it would be coming from somewhere else?
I have fitted a new seal to the dizzy but yet to drive it any distance to see if its still leaking.
