Re: 95 SC bit of a oil burning smell
Thanks Previologist. I'll drive for a couple of weeks and check the tray for oil. I cleaned it real good when I changed my valve cover gasket. I hope changing the valve cover gasket will stop oil under the distributor. I did have a valve cover oil leak on the vertical front valve cover seam and that oil was blowing backwards and some oil seemed to be buy passing the tray. I was also getting a drip of oil on the number one exhaust tube from the front part of the valve cover and this was causing a burned oil smell.
I have put a piece of sheet metal under the metal plate under the distributor to direct any oil drips away from the exhaust collector so I don't get oil burning smells her from the distributor but the tray under the valve cover will still direct oil to the exhaust collector. The problem I have with oil dripping out of the distributor is oil drips on my garage floor.
I hope changing the valve cover will stop what I am thinking is the distributor leak. If it doesn't, I plan to change the "O' ring under the distributor again and this time I'll use a genuine Toyota part. Last time I used a Fel-Pro "o" ring.
I never have changed the "O" ring and the valve cover gasket at the same time but I will in the future.
