If your distributor is right on the camshaft then the oil seal in front of the distributor is gone bad.
Can not tell exactly how u can do it easily. You may be just grab it with a pair of needle nose pliers and pull it out.
worse comes to worse - you got to take ur camshaft out. (get the tightening pattern when u put it back together and u may also have to do valve clearance since the camshaft is pulled out)
