Anybody have experience with an oil leak on a .009 distributor?

I pulled it out to check the seals on the shaft, but it was dry as a bone. The very slow leak is at the lowest "weep" hole at the bottom of distributor's body. I did over-fill the crank case on the engine's initial in-car start up. I'm thinking the oil was forced up the inside of the distributor shaft.... While the engine was still on the dyno, no leaks were noticed.
Any clues?

Drain some oil, and clean the dizy. and try it again.

Ernie,

As long as there's nothing leaking out past the dizzy (I assume you have the rubber O ring in place) don't worry about it.

If installing a new o-ring remember to lube it before re-inserting the distributor to protect it from premature breaking while going in. That'll also help it seal better.

Guys, the oil is seeping from the body of the distributor above, not the shaft penetration into the case. The shaft seals are fine and the shaft and the case port are dry. Seemed pretty screwy to me and the builder, as a matter of fact. This is why I asked if anybody ever heard of such a thing.
On the other hand, I realize that I'm pretty spoiled by the fact that my last motor never leaked a drop in the 6k miles I had on it.

Ernie; great opportunity to swap it for an SVDA from Aircooled.net...it's the sh*t!...You car will drive cooler, give you more miles per gallon and with no flat spots; just like a fuel injected car.

Hey Recardo....
Just got a call from CB Performance this AM. Pat is shipping me a new dist. today. He mentioned that this deal had happened only once before, in his experience. My fingers are crossed!
BTW, I have heard some pretty good things about that SVDA set-up

Oh...for a moment there I forgot you have a totally new engine with warranty!! Good luck!

Yes, the SVDA works great especially if you are using a 30 or 34PICT. It eliminates the horrible flat spot that you get with the 009. When using dual carbs, it isn't so much of an issue though. Dual carbs will benefit from the SVDA as well but they do not have the flat spot like the single carb has.

Holy Crap!
Pat told me he was sending me a new distributer Mon AM. The thing was delivered here Tues AM!
I just installed it and I'm now leaving on my road test.
Talk about it later...........

Well, the new distributor leaked just like the 1st one!
However, Theee good news is::: After 700 miles of break-in, the thing has dried up!
Nada, nothing, no oil leak!!!!!

Don't you love it when a little problem fixes itself?!

See ya in Paso!!
