It is true that there is an O-ring that slips onto the grooved end of the distributor and can cause oil leaking, however, many times oil leaks through the distributor as well. I have a 2.3, and have removed my distributor only to find that oil was not leaking from the O-ring on the outside, but coming through the distributor and leaking out the cap. I haven't replaced it yet, but that is apparently the only remedy as these are not easily disassembled. I wipe the oil off the distributor and hoses at every refueling to avoid allowing my ABS unit to become covered. A distributor leak doesn't usually leak enough to be worried about, and as long as the oil is cleaned off frequently, shouldn't cause any performance problems.
