Turns out what I thought (twice now) was the common leaky seal between the dizzy housing and the engine head, is wrong. I've sealed the fucker twice over and it still seems to be leaking, but I found that there is oil further up the distributor itself.
Opposite the adjuster on the dizzy, underneath is what seems to be a hole. Is it a breather?? I kinda think that's where it's leaking from. Is there anywhere else I should be checking?

There is two seals. Both rubber o rings. If you have only done one then do the other.

Also, you don't need to add sealant. It's an o ring not a gasket.

I did both oring and sealant just to be safe.
Ended up replacing the other o-ring on the shaft because it was rock hard, but have discovered that the leak is coming from the back of the tappet cover housing.
Spoke with Greg at 4wd_products on eBay and I already have a new gasket on the way. Would recommend him!
