[4ndee]

does anyone else or has anyone else had this FUDGING problem, i have an oil leak from my dizzy, i have changed the o ring like....3 times and now its on the tightest i could do! WERE IS IT GOING!!!!

[4ndee]

i think i have been stupid as F@ck, is there a camshaft oil seal on the on end of the camshaft that the dizzy connects to? i assume there is!

There is an internal oil seal on the shaft of the distributor.

This used to be such a problem that there was a DIY re-build write up on MR2.com 11 years ago when I bought my car - Toyota didn't offer rebuild kits which left people having to purchase a new distributor unit.

I can't find that original article, but I did google this:

And the kit of rebuild parts:

Maybe one of the UK parts suppliers offer a kit?

Good Luck
