It's probably the distributor shaft o ring seal. Clean the area if oily I use gas/spray start and run motor to see if it oils up again.

What I noticed is that the car when it is on it doesnot show sings of oil dripping. When I turned it off then it starts. It starts slowly but contineus running down. I dont know if that is helpfull to you.
