oil leak

This is the best that I could find: http://home.comcast.net/~lj_robins/pix/dist_mount.jpg after you remove the distributor there are three bolts that hold the housing unit on, like I said before stick a rag under it before you remove it some oil is probably going to come out.

Hard to say from the picture but it looks like O ring for the distributor shaft.

I have the o ring on order .

the leak in my suzuki esteem is the same as the picture shown. There are two O rings. One is on the distributor shaft and the other is on the mounting (with the three bolts). I have replaced the O rings twice already but still the leaks persists and this time it's already becoming stronger. I just bought an oil seal for the "cam shaft" today and ask the auto supply if the leak could be coming already from the cam shaft seal. I was told that if I have already replaced the two O riungs, it must be already coming from the cam shaft oil seal. I'll woek on it on Friday. Hope it be it!!!

That picture look's exactly as it did on my -97 baleno before I fixed the gasket. I bought a heatresistant gasketsilicone. I took what was left of the original gasket and discarded it, filled the grove up plus some extra and waited a couple of minuets before putting the braket back on. No more leak and it was done several months ago. Now the other O-ring on the distributorshaft have given up. Don't know if I can order it through an authorized Suzuki repairshop or if I'll have to have them do the repair. Maybe I'll take the oring off and go get a new one just like it..
