Re: [DML] distributor cap and rotor



Most kinds of grease are okay but Dielectric is a good one for o-rings as it 
keeps them well over the years.  You may have a leak if the tube is not 
pressed in all the way but it could be other things as well.  Take out the 
motor and tube and grease the seal up a bit and see if that helps but you 
may likely have something else going on.

Grease does help the vacuum a bit because the seal stays soft and doesn't 
dry out as fast.  However one could argue a seal is a seal and if it leaks 
you have a problem and grease won't help.  Honestly, grease just helps it 
assemble easier and that's the main reason I use it but I do believe it adds 
to the life of the seal.
