So my front cam seal and my distributor o-ring are both new, and both leak. Compression is good so it isnt blow by, my pcv is 2 weeks old, and ive tried greasing the oring to no avail. It leaks quite a lot of oil, what could be the issue and how do i go about solving it? Thanks

Where did you buy your parts? Sometimes manufacturers from India or China don't make their parts to spec.

The crank seal leaks a little bit at is from an eristic kit, was not greased on install. The oring is a blue rubber one the guys at oreilys said would work, drips oil

I have the right size, I thought that was all that counted? How much for one shipped?

You should pm him, or click the o rings thing in his signature... Also, buy some ez turn fuel lube oil (a lot like vasoline only thicker) several of the best car people I've talked to recomend it on stuff like distributor orings. Or use Vaseline as Texas guy suggested if you don't want to spend 7$ on a last forever tube of ez turn lube.
