Default Help- Oil leak coming from under distributor

So I've replaced the o ring in the distributor thinking it would fix the oil leak but it still leaks just as bad. I'm not sure where else it could be leaking from as it seems it is only coming from the distributor and leaking onto my O2 sensor wiring, alternator, and radiator hose. these picture are after I wiped it a little. Any help would be much appreciated!






what its leaking on

where i believe its coming from

Assuming its the power steering pump or hose... additionally assuming its an sc400.. please correct me if I'm wrong. if its an SC300 then my understanding its on the other side of the block and its not the power steering pump

I assume you have a high mileage car, this is typical leak that occurs when the bushing wears inside the distributor. Unfortunately the only fix is to replace the distributor. If you order one from rockauto it looks like the cardone one is about $150 with no core.

Edit: On toyotapartsdeal.com it is $555 for oem. If you don't mind spending for oem. I have run aftermarket dizzys in all of mine for years no issue.
