Last time I swaped my spark plugs I noticed that there is a thick layer of grit and oil/grease along the side and a little of the front of my engine block under the distributor. The distributor and valve cover are clean. I haven't had a chance to really clean this mess up yet so I'm not sure where it's coming from. I thought I'd ask here first to see if someone else has had a simlar problem. Right now I'm guessing either the cam seal or the valve cover seal needs to be replaced.
So has anyone seen this before? All suggestions are welcome.
Sidenote: This board is great. I've only been here a few weeks and have already learned so much. I had no idea anyone else cared as much as I do about this older car that most owners see more like an appliance.
