I just replaced the oil pan gasket on a B230 engine. There was a leak at the rear of the engine and it had been dripping for a long time. It was a pretty dirty job!

Has anyone experienced other leakage points on the rear of the engine besides the oil pan, distributor seals, and rear main crank seal? The front of the engine is dry and leak free.

What is the typical replacement interval on the green distributor o-rings, and how often should the dynamic seals in the rotor plate be replaced?

I know about keeping the breather clean. It gets removed and cleaned at every oil change.
