I have owned three different models of corollas thus far. I know that as soon as ppl see oil coming out from the distributor region they say to change the O-ring on the dizzy. I honestly have never heard ANY mechanic say anything about that inner seal. I know the inner seal was leaking because I saw a good bit of oil inside the dizzy and it seemed to be coming from the bearing area.
Only after doing a couple hours of reading on the net, I discovered that there was a replacable inner seal. Of course, it's aftermarket 'cause TOYOTA doesn't recognise the interior of the dizzy as servicable - so don't bother to even try to get an "original inner seal". It doesn't exist for sale !
For anyone who wants a complete kit, it could be ordered online from here:
http://kbox.ca/catalog/product_info.php ... cts_id/262I purchased both seals at Chase Village Auto Supplies (a.k.a Billy's Auto)
Outer seal O-Ring : $8.00
Inner seal : $25.00
Machine Shop Job: $40.00
Total : $73.00
Many ppl told me to replace the entire dizzy !
