Dist. o-ring leak - Honda Prelude Forum

After engine install i've had a small leak from distributor. I just bought and replaced the oring (bought from majestic, just replacement), seems it was a bit small when i poped it on but i said w/e, now after poping it back on and ****ing with distributor, it still leaks! Any recommendations on bigger size? what size, etc, maybe i can run to advanced auto and pick one up this weekend

Might not b the ring, i had the bearing go bad in my 4th gen and it was leaking oil into the distributor.

yeah replaced the o-ring and put gasket sealant on it and there's still a leak, pulled the cap off and there's oil in there! Looks like i'm taking a trip to the junkyard, luckily they're only $20 there :P i'll see if i can find a good one
