Also is your motor a vtec motor? If so look at the Vtec solenoid, they leak a lot there if not properly seated and sealed. One more place your valve cover, could be leaking around the area where the dizzy and end of camshaft are coverd. Hope that helps.

You can buy the little rubber piece online..Why pay so much for another dizzy unless you find one for cheap.

Teal's is a rebuild or swap of parts from dizzy to dizzy but its the same principle just remove the inner piece and replace with a new one.
