Oil leakage on Dizzy

[stussy_legend]

hi everyone, there is a bad oil leak between the dizzy and the head(D15B). originally it was dripping thru the drain hole at the bottom of the dizzy, so i suspected its the seal that has gone, so i bought another Dizzy, and same thing happen again

the new dizzy didnt drip at idle right after i installed it,i even rev the engine with the throttle cable, see if there is any oil drip, it was all fine but after i drove about 4 miles and checked, the leak is still there, only leaks when driving, anyone got any idea what else could cause this leak?!

Replace the seal with a new one! Rubber hardens and perishes over time and loses it's sealing capabilities! Did you properly tighten the bolts that hold down the cam at the dizzy end?

i didnt tighten them to torque spec, i snapped one bolt yesterday, so scared i will snap another one again.

but how many seals are there?! the only ones i could think of is the o ring, and the one inside the dizzy shaft

Did you extract the broken bolt? If you left it broken your going to be applying an uneven torque loads on the cam caps! This could be your issue. Replace the seals with new ones, if it's still leaking I suspect what I previously mentioned

sorry, what do u mean by extract?! as soon as the bolt snapped, i drove max. 2 miles to go back home. got it out this morning, and replaced it with some spare one from the old head.

what seals r u talking about?! o ring?!
