Well, the unthinkable has happened.

I pulled the distributor off this morning, and well, oil every where inside the cap.

The rear intake CAM seal is out and leaking into the distributor, most likely causing my hard start problem.

The really bad news is that I'm gonna have to pull the oil pan and find out how plugged up the return line is from the oil separator box. Most likely completely plugged.

This would explain the oil consumption issue that was noted on the last oil change. I also performed the glove test yesterday and it was limp; not filling up, not sucking in. My guess is that if the seal was still in place it most likely would be filling up.

This repair is going to take awhile to do, so don't look for any response anytime soon as it is getting cold here in Maryland.

Lord willing the rear intake seal is as bad as it will get for seals. Hopefully the rear main hasn't been affected, but only time will tell. Also, hopefully I haven't taken too many miles off the engine, but again, only time will tell.

Thanks for listening, now time to start tearing it apart.
