Take a picture or clarify where the leak is, it could be from a few spots around there.

Three possible places, four if you include the rocker cover gasket...

There's a seal inside the distributor, there's an O ring around the distributor body where it goes into the case and a second O ring where the case bolts on to the head. Where does your's leak from?

As with all oil leaks, step #1 is to wash it clean, so you can see where the leak is.
