That's a major leak if you found enough oil inside the distributor for the rotor to hit it. Was the drain hole plugged??

Yes it was.

Yes it was.

Fix your vacuum leaks on the engine and this will help prevent that, as it creates a negative pressure on the distributor and will keep oil from being forced into the distributor because the engine crankcase is under negative.

PCV system, vacuum hoses, new oil fill cap/seal, valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals.

So a misfire then? Funny how you picked that up without feeling the engine misfire, still a good fine for sure. well done that man!

It was only a misfire! I met with Jonheld and he was convinced it was a misfire but I wasn’t sure because there was no dip in the tachometer needle, but he was right. I knew the rough idle was definitely from the oil in the distributor and was shocked to find the driveline issue to be related.
