Do Dizzy's leak ?

[eritate]

Hey something was burning on my donor car

So i left it running for a little while just to warm it up... then i popped the hood and there was steam coming from the exhaust manifold

I checked and checked but couldnt see anything until some kind of liquid came out of the dizzy cap

Ideas to what it could be ??

Oh its an ae86

4age's are legendary for oil leaks from the distributor but that really doesn't sound like the issue you've got [confused]

[eritate]

hmm well it was steam or smoke... maybe smoke because something was burning

interesting...i have that exact problem, even after replacing the o-ring. is there any way to fix it?

[sergei]

it is probably leakingthrough bearings inside of dizzy, the only way is to dissasemble replace bearings and seal and assemble it the exact way it was.

so it is common and not bad ?

Mine smallport 4age just developed this problem. I have yet to replace the dizzy seal, but hopefully that will sort it. Its no biggie i dont think

mine was leaking, so i replace the bearing and seal, then it was fine, then it started leaking. Then I put gasket goop all over the o ring and it fixed it.. then it started leaking again.
$&#$% who cares mang, no biggie ay

y not do it properly, costs about 6 bucks to do, all u need is drill, solid pin bout $3, new oils seal bout $3 and bearing pullers and maybe a new bearing if its shagged, i did mine piece of piss really

Problem is that the shaft is usually worn too
