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.

I rebuilt the engine myself not too long ago, and when I installed the main seal, the matting surfaces had no flaws in them. About 2 months ago, I took the motor back out to fix a few problems that appeared after the rebuild, and I checked the seal to see if it was leaking and I found no oil coming out from it. When I put the motor back in, the seal just started to leak some, then it just got worse recently. I know oil pressure is within specs, but could 65psi at 3000rpm be slightly high for a range of 36-70psi?
 Don't you think that is on the borderline range just a little bit?
