Yes, the dist oil seal is common. And if the spark is weak or misfiring it
can also cause 6 flashes. It will not cause 4 though.
The rotor resistor has a bad habit of going high resistance also. Sometimes
you can see little cracks in the potting which is a dead giveaway. The best
tool for diagnosis is an ohmmeter.
