Why does your 1997 mirage have oil in the distributor?

Oil in the distributor of a 1997 Mitsubishi Mirage is often due to a worn or damaged o-ring or seal on the distributor shaft. This can allow engine oil to seep into the distributor housing, potentially causing ignition issues. Additionally, excessive engine wear or high mileage can exacerbate this problem, leading to oil accumulation. It's important to address this issue promptly to prevent further ignition system damage.
