Re: oil near distributor??

Yes, near the distributor cap's hall sender wires, on top of the tranny case, on the hose that goes from the motor to the bottom of the coolant resevoir.   Any ideas??

darn it.

88 16V:   

I pop the hood take a rag, wipe around: the distributor cap, hall sender wires,

the wires that run underneath the distributor to other places, and the top of the tranny which is located directly under the distibutor area.   (Trying to make it look clean after looking at Brett's motor.)

 

Pop the hood 2 days later, oil in those same areas.  Not puddles.  Noticable and just enough to look at it and say, "darn it.  I have a rebuilt head, new piston rings, new rod bearings.  All this new stuff with just under 3000 driven miles and now this."

 

Any ideas??
