Drop on by the acuravigorclub.com and register for the yahoo group. There's much more activity there that can solve problems like this.

The specific problem that you're having regards to oil INSIDE the distributor is a bad oil seal. The oil seal is located on the rotor shaft, right behind the shaft bearing. You'll need to remove the distributor, cap, rotor, then the retaining clip that holds the crosspin. Take note of the way the distributor came out, and the location of the parts. It's important to put everything back together the same way.

The seal and bearing kit can be ordered on ebay, bearingdepot, and some online auto parts stores.
