ill take a wild a.s guess, knowing NOTHING about the car. youve got
excessive pressure somewhere that isnt getting out. stuck PCV valve?

Hi folks,

Maybe someone can shed some light on this problem.

1990 Accord LX 4 door auto.
Oil pouring out of vent hole at bottom of distributor.
Not the O ring seal.

OK This happened last June 20 2005
After 198,000 miles it emptied the oil pan in 50 miles of driving.
On the way home from work about 5 miles from home.
Oil light comes on, pull over shut down engine check oil, dip stick dry. WTF
!!!
Luckily I had just bought the oil for a oil change that weekend in the
trunk.
Dump it in, check it almost a gallon used.
Start it up check it oil, pouring out of distributor.
Drive like hell to get it home.
At home closer inspection shows it pouring out of the vent hole at bottom of
distributor.
Ok, Remove disassemble and inspect.
Disassembling distributor and the oil seal at the bottom was pushed out of
the its seat in the lower housing.
Ok, seal looked dried out and cracked.
Probably age replacement should fix it up. Sleeve bearing was fine.
I'll replace it.
After a ridiculous local search for the oil seal I found one place on the
net with OEM seals.
Pressed new seal in, good to go.
Assembled tested, lasted exactly 20 minutes oil pouring out again ! WTF !!
Disassembled, oil seal pushed back out.
Everybody is telling me " You cant fix them you got to replace the
distributor "
OK, I'll replace it.
Search Local Bone yards, Not one Honda car in the yard with this type of
model still on the car !
Is there a pattern here ?
Found a replacement ( rebuilt )
Good to go.
Installed and set up fine.

Today 1 30 2006
216,000 miles on clock
On the way home from work again.
Oil light comes on about 20 miles from home, pull over shut down engine.
Lift hood ,oil smell. oil all over top of starter.
Check oil on stick. empty, Oh No not again.
Lucky I keep a spare gallon in trunk, Fill it up.
Start engine, oil pouring out of vent hole again.
Drive like hell to get home again.
Hopefully this distributor has a warranty so it goes back.
What is wrong with this CAR ?
What have I over looked on this  car.
Any suggestions would be a help.
I am beginning to loose my faith in this car

Thanks
John
