Everyone's 5S leaks oil at the dizzy. Mine used to. I can't believe howmany times I have seen this oil leak, it isn't hard at ALL to do. soenjoy your new write up!

materials needed:
new O-ring

Tools needed:
10mm socket (for the intake)
12mm socket (for the distributor)
phillips screw driver
something to keep the lid from falling




1: Prop the engine lid:




2: Remove intake:




3: Remove Spark Plug Wires:




4: Remove screws for the cap and note the position of the rotor, youcan only mess this up in one way, you have a 50/50 chance here.

no pic here, self explanatory


5: Mark the bolt/washer combo with paint or chalk to avoid having to reset timing (my belt broke, so it didn't matter on my car)




6: Loosen the bolt and take if off and don't drop it.

no pic here
7: pull the distributor out a little and unclip the bottom plug and set it aside






8: Set it down and GLARE at the CRAP that is on it:





9: Here's our culprit, and we need to remove this carefully, I used a metal tooth pick thing




10: Clean up the distributor REALLY good, no use in leaving the grime there, right? replace the new O-ring the old one sucks.




Moar damage:







Re assemble the same way it came out. easy, just make sure the littletabs match up and the rotor is facing the same direction as it wasbefore, wiggle it back and forth until it locks into the cam and thenbolt back on and reinstall the cap, wires, and intake.

just 2 cans of brake cleaner later:





now you're done. grats.
