Leaky cam seal?

[AZmike]

I've got a slow oil leak that leaves a trail starting right under my distributor and crank angle sensor. It's really easy to see without the tranny in. I was thinking it was my distributor side cam shaft oil seal (the o-ring). Does this sound right? For those that have replaced their's, how bad a job is this?

Thanks

Mark distributor at head, unbolt, pull, replace. Should be easy.

I would set timing to be sure, if possible.

easy but you bettery watch your oil lever till you replace it !

The old seal will probably be dry rotted on there, so you'll have to cut it off. Afterwards, pop the new on in its place and reinstall the distributor. Not a problem!

Had the same issue on mine :)

Thanks guys. After I take a little time off from the clutch/rear main seal job I'm just finishing I'll go ahead and take care of this. It sounds like it shouldn't be too bad.
