If you have distrib. on back of engine, I have same problem. There is a seal on the shaft of the distributor that is replacable. (in additon to the o-rings) See FAQ for the repair, and comments on it. I found it not that difficult, but still have a leak somewhere out of the distrib. area. Might be a faulty distrib. or could be bad seal of the valve cover.

good luck and post back with the cure, if you find one.
