I hope someone can help me. I have been battling this oil leak and can not figure out how to stop it. The oil is coming from the base of the Mopar Performance distributor and running down the back of the block on my 273. At this point I have changed out the o-ring which I bought the kit from Jegs and also have bought the felt pro gasket that goes around the base. I have also changed out the pcv valve and the breather to make sure I'm releasing the pressure from the engine. I don't know what else to do. This engine was rebuilt about 1 1/2 years ago and now has about a thousand miles on the engine. Any suggestions or is there something I'm over looking. I have dropped many distributors in small blocks in my day but have never in my life run across this. Is it possible the distributor itself could be the problem?
