if you remove your distributor you should find a rubber ring you can replace this or just get clean it all off and cover it in sealant and put it back on,

thanks pricer to take the DIS off looks fairly straight forward till i looked at the haynes and it goes on bout TDC etc lol. dont wanna mess up the timing is it ok to take it off and just put it back on exactly as i found it or could taking it off mess up the timing etc? is the ring located on dis or engine block? thanks again
