just an update. my dad opened up my ditrubtor today and its super dry inside. so i have NO oil leak. thats a good thing. but my rotor is worn out in the middle of the ditrubtor so if i change it i should get more power.

As far as the rotor, you will only gain back the power you lost from the worn-out rotor. Since we will be working on the distributor, might as well buy a new cap and rotor if they are worn out. Those parts aren't expensive.

But this may be because when i install a oil filter i put a little oil on my finger and rub it around the seal on the filter.. kinda like lubricating the rubber seals. I was taught this as a kid and have always done it. But you may do the same, so it just may be some more of that "weird stuff"
