Oil Leak-Distributor

[Sholom770]

1991 dlx-4 cylinder. Have an oil leak likely from distributor o ring. Does it make sense to only replace the o ring for $2.68 or should I purchase a reman distributor for about $110? Distributor seems fine, timing is right on, 285k. Don't want to jinx a good thing, just want to fix the oil leak. But don't want to be penny wise and pound foolish. Thanks.

just the o ring. no need to replace the whole unit unless its not keeping the timing etc,...

You should be glad you don't have the V6 model. Your o-ring is easy to replace.
