Re: Leaking ignition distributor.

Hi Joseph;

    If your climate control system sucks oil fumes into the cabin, there
must be a lot of fume under the hood. Have you checked your PCV hoses to
make sure they have not collapsed? Perhaps the crankcase is pressurizing and
forcing the oil fume out the distributor.
