<VV> Coil (oil leak) Question:

[Duane, Jim (US SSA)]

Since the distributor plunges right into the engine to pick up the cam
(and drive the oil pump) I've gone under the assumption that the oil is
from the distributor.  I've been cleaning it up for years.  I believe
there's a gasket that is supposed to go there, but I'm too lazy to pull
the distributor.  Besides, it looks real nice after you wipe off the
excess ;>)

I have noticed (and been watching) this same patch of oil on my 1963
Spyder appear after driving the car - just below the coil and a bit
right of and air recirculation plate.  Where is the area that leaks and
is there a cure?  Thanks in advance, Bob Hawley (1963 Spyder)

  Here lately whenever I take Christine out for a drive, I come home to
find an oily liquid on the engine shroud beneath the ignition coil.  I
wipe it up and it stays clean until the next drive. Time for a new coil?

  I get oil "almost" below the coil.  Mine comes from the distributor
  hole, though. JED
