New Healey owner - 100-6 with 3000 engine. Have oil leak at tachometer cable connection located just below distributor. Is there a gasket for this connection? Could not find any drawing detail for this part.

The oil leak is not at the tach as there is not supposed to be oil in the cable.
The leak is at the tach drive where the cable attaches to the engine.

If you remove the drive from the takeoff you'll likely find ther remnants of the seal. If you can't find or make a replacement post a picture of what you find and someone on the list will tell you how they solved the same problem. There's nothing new under the Healey sun.
 
Will do that-should have done it before, was just trying to find info on all of the gaskets I need prior to disassembling anything. Thanks for the reply.
