Oil up by Distributor

I'm wondering if anyone has had this problem....if so could it be bad o-ring on MSD Distributor?

Usually but not always the oil comes from a leak at the end of the intake and it collects at the base of the distributor.

Throw the intake gasket away if you haven't already.Silicone at the china walls for the win.

should i try to wipe a good silicone on it before I have to pull manifold?

Nope. Won't seal after the fact. Lift the manifold.

ok

Just brakeleen off and apply silicone, may seal up ok.

I have cleaned up those messes before not the right way to fix the problem do it right and remove the intake ...

I'd make sure of where its leaking from. I've had a few blow oil out the dip stick tube and pool up,just say'n.

Replace the "O" ring if there is one under the distributer flange. Cant remember if there is one or not, should be. Id look,but my junk is 600 miles away! Lol
