55PW oil leak at distributor and dipstick

Posted by David_VT on Sunday, September 23, 2001 at 9:34PM :

I got the 55 on the road for a test today. What a beast but a blast to drive!

Unfortunatly we quickly discovered that we are hemorraging oil around the distributor and out the dipstick.

Does this suggest a critical problem or just the need to replace a seal on the distributor?

Oil pressure looked good, cooling is working and we are not smoking too bad.

Thx
