1987 XJ 4.0
I pulled the distributor to prime the oil pump after replacing the RMS and noticed there was about 2 tablespoons of oil in the bottom of it. Is this a problem? I have already fixed the CCV system, so the crankcase pressure should be under control. Is there a seal on the distributor shaft?
There was oil on the block that looked like it was coming up the distributor hole. Should there be a gasket under the distributor? Sorry for all these questions. I have the FSM, but can't find the distributor anywhere in it. Chiltons wasn't much help, as usual.
For those wondering, the pan was down and dry for 3 weeks. Cranking the engine would not bring pressure up.
