Drill a small hole in the bottom of the distributor to allow the oil to run all over the transmission or install a vacuum hose and suck the oil back into the air filter or catch can. Engine with worn seals and excessive blow by past the piston rings exibit oil leaks like you have. The best repair is a rebuilt distributor and check compression and Cyl leakage to only find out an expensive engine replacement. Or a car that has seen less than 18 snows or summers. Admit it you wanted a new car something a bit more powerfull with A/C didn't you?

it fairly is a shot in th dark via fact it may be an incredible style of countless issues.yet they're changing areas to make money and it style of feels they have not a clue what's fairly incorrect! a number of issues ,it may be,-valve seals drained -erg valve clogged-the motor sounds like it has extreme blow-via,which might stress oil into places it won't be.(th piston rings are wiped out)if so a significant over-haul is named for! they could have achieved a compression verify on the cylinders! I wasn't going to declare this yet whilst it fairly is wiped out ,ya could wanna evaluate a Hand grenade fix!

The shaft for the distributer rides in a bronze race. If it's leaking, it's worn and needs to be replaced.
