Ther is an O ring on the distributor. Remove the distributor bolt & lift out & replace it; however, the leak may be from the rocker cover gasket. Sometimes just a retorquing of the bolts is enough, 7 ft. lbs. is adequate. Hope this helps. Good luck!
in order to get the trouble codes from your car you will need to either get an obd 1 reader from a local parts store or you can take it to any garage to have read.
Make sure your coolant levels are up. If not, it may be the problem. The coolant sensor is reading inappropriate figures & sending incorrect timing figures to the computer. Change the coolant sensor & make sure your air filter is clean. The coolant sensor is close to the thermostat housing. Good luck!
Turn key to on, then off, then on, then off, then on & leave it on, (not start, just to on) then count the number of flashes of check engine light. It will flash,then have a small pause, then flash again. It will be a 2 digit number, for example: 2 flashes, pause, 2 more flashes, will be code 22. 3 flashes, pause, then 5 more flashes would be code 35. When you get 5 flashes,pause, then 5 more, That is code 55 which just means end of message. Get back to us with codes & we'll advise of what to look for.

If it starts & runs for a few seconds with gas down carb, obviously you have a fuel delivery problem, as in fuel filter plugged, fuel pump, or perhaps you got some bad gas recently?
