Engine oil leak help

Post by lewie fraser » Thu Jan 12, 2017 7:40 pm

So I have an oil leak coming from what looks to be like near the distributor.At first I thought I though it was the rocker cover gasket but is it possible to have a leak around the dizzy?

if you have a someone that does hydraulic hose repairs near you they should be able to match the o ring if you take it in to them only cost you a few pennys if i new the size i would find one at work and send it to you
