89 xj 4.0 98,000 miles (i don't go anywhere) Laredo aw4 Renix
Started running rough intermittently and I decided to pull the distributer cap, even though I'd just tuned it up 2 months ago. Found oil in the top of the distributer. Sucked it out with a wet vac, cleaned up the rotor and put it back together. My son had changed the oil and the filter was loose so I tightened it up and figured that was the problem. Ran great for a while and started bucking so I pulled the cap again to find oil again! My mechanic thought there was some sort of gasket in the distributer that had failed. Any clues?
