Re: Where and how to check for oil leaks? 700 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be John Sargent on  Mon Dec 11 01:45 CST 2000 [RELATED]

If it is still leaking from the distributor, and not the cam cover gasket, it is the distributor shaft seal. This seal is not available from

Volvo. You have several options. 1. A rebuilt exchange distributor. 2. A used distributor, whch may also leak. 3. A new distributor baseplate, complete with Hall sensor. About $100 from IPS, 1-800-897-7278. 4. Buy a new seal from Honda, part number 91205-KF0-003. It is a lawnmower seal. Fits perfect. There is a great posting in the archives from June 26, 2000 on this very subject.
