Re: Points ignition coil leak
I don't know what those tests are, but if there is oil in the coil tower, then yes, it is no good.

Re: Points ignition coil leak
If that's 1.8Ω on the Primary and the Secondary checks out, you might still have another problem
Agree that visible oil probably means that even if your coil still works it won't last long
