Re: Oil leak thru distributor 700 1986

I have had a small amount of oil coming through the dist. shaft on my 88 740 for some time. When I remove the cap there is always a bit of oil in the bottom and some on the dust cap. If yours is dry I think your shaft seal is OK. Others may agree or disagree with this.

If oil gets out past the large O ring I suppose you have made sure that crankcase pressure is OK along with replacing the O ring.

BTW where did you get the shaft seal? I may order one for mine.
