Oil leak at the distributor?

Hey guys:

I've put about 4500 miles on my '91 RMW so far, and it's been leaving small puddles of oil everywhere.

It was time to do an oil change today, so I took the opportunity to track down the leak.

It appears it is leaking out around the base of the distributor, but I'm not 100 percent sure until I can get further in there and clean it off.

I found what appears to be a ring of form-a-gasket just hanging around the distributor base, and in fact the dist was loose when I got this car, causing it to hardly run.

What is supposed to be in place to seal off oil leaks? Is there an o-ring on the distributor, o-ring plus a seal on the block, or neither lol...

Thanks for the help....

i kno on my 92 RMW there is a gasket inbetween the distributor to the intake..

Odds are the Intake mANIFOLD is leaking because it is a very common SBC problem. Just pull the intake and reseal everything. The Felpro gasket set will include the gasket for the distributor base.
