Very sorry for the typo...it had been a long day

I just serviced the pcv and it is not a turbo. I'll investigate the rear cam seal option. Any insights besides not rolling the lip of the seal?

Thanks

I was afraid that was the case with the ps lines I just wanted to confirm.

Any suggestions on the oil coming from behind my distributor?

Tried the seafoam method....seemingly little success oil now leaking from behind distributor

also, is there easier way to drop the oil pan without removing the power steering lines?

Today I noticed an oil puddle and upon investigation I discovered a fairly significant amount of oil tripping from behind the distributor. Is there a gasket or o ring back there that could be leaking or could it something completely different? Please advise.

Can the oil trap be serviced or is it a throw away part?

zuni97

YES YES YES

Did your test ...went on to spark....ended with vacuum...now running.

Thanks

As it turned out it was not a spark problem at all, but vacuum. Your advise helped me come to this conclusion. The old girl is running again, thank you.
