my 92 civic 1.5 16 valve has a problem with oil leaking into the dist cap.
dealer said the only reason this would happen is due to an internal seal in
the dist. we decided to simply replace the dist itself since we had just
done an immense amount of work on it anyways. this is the 2nd remanufac.
distributor we have installed and the problem persists. does the seal
sound like the problem or could there be another seal or part to help

Have you checked to see if your PCV is blocked? The pressure would have
to escape somewhere. Have you done a google.com search?
