Hello everyone. So I bought a 1991 fi 4wd from an old farmer guy in Idaho with 168k on it. Put new shocks and frot cv axles And tune up. My mechanic says it has good compression but it's leaking oil into the distributor cap and it needs new seals and leaking pretty much everywhere. Other than that the car seems pretty solid and ran good until the distributor leak. It's a bit over my head to do a rebuild but was wondering if there is anyone in wa state that could help or a mechanic that specializes in these cars. I'll probably have to end up selling it if I can't find anyone. Thanks

Welcome to the forums. The distributor leak is common, but usually doesn't affect how the car runs. Here is a thread that will help with replacing the seal. link
Other leaks are probably the valve cover and/or the oil pan. A little gasket sealer should take care of those.
