Oil Leaks - B230 700

You might also want to check the oil breather box seal. These tend to bake real hard over a period of time and you can get a slow weep/leak onto the back of the block which might drip down to the back of the engine. Usually not a big leak, more of a weep. O ring only costs about $1 to replace, although removal of the breather box might take an hour or so. A poor seal here also reduces the effectiveness of the breather system which can cause leaks elsewhere to get worse. If this is a turbo, the seals under the oil filter adaptor also tend to get hard and leak. Again, a couple of $$s for the parts and an hour or so of labor.
Distributor seals may start to leak anytime from 75k miles upward in my experience.
Good luck,

Kevin
