Oil leak at the distributor on a 400???

Anonymous-0 · May 9, 2011

My 400 has developed a small oil or hydraulic fluid leak. Not sure which since the hydraulic pump is between the block and distributor. The oil is comming out the distributor shaft (very little) but enough to drip now and then at the cap. The tach cable is leaking enough to be noticeable, the oil is being forced along it all the way to the fuel tank. Has anyone run into this problem before? I would like a little back ground on this since the service manual is a little vague.

Thanks, Cory

Cory, you will need to change the seals in your pump. You will have to remove the pump,be sure to change the one on the drive gear end of the pump too. After re-installing the pump you will have to retime the distributer.
