oil leak

Help
I have recently purchased a 1986 323 (Auto). The car runs very well however
it's throwing a lot of oil (from somewhere). So far I have replaced the
distributor, put a new casket on the rocker cover, replaced the cam and
crank seals and still a major leak. I am at my wits end, can anyone offer
some suggestions. ....please.

Thanks

If this engine has a lot of crud on it, it may be difficult to see where the
oil is leaking. You might want to either have it steamed, "Gunk" it or use a
good detergent like Simple Green. Personally, I like to keep them relatively
clean and use Simple Green every so often.

Good luck,

Ken

Just a thought. If your PCV Valve is plugged the crankcase will pressurize
and oil will leak from everywhere.
