I was just wondering if anybody has had any problems with their distributors leaking through the o-ring. I have tried to everything possible to stop it, but nothing works. I have a high volume oil pump, and I wonder if the higher oil pressure is causing it to leak through. Any ideas would be helpful.

It could be. It should have a check valve but that would only limit the highest pressure. The seals can hold up to probably what the stock pump could push at it's max. Are you sure of your readings? The pressure would have to be higher to do what it has.
