Oil leak

I have a 1990 Toyota Camry, 2.0l, 4cyl automobile. It was given to me with a new engine and a new transmission. 5/2/2011 I replaced my plugs, plug wires, rotor, and distributor cap. I discovered in the old distributor cap a small amount of oil in it. Am I in trouble?

If the oil was INSIDE of the cap, it's a bad distributor. If the oil is outside, then Ras's suggestion is the answer.
