If your sure that it is leaking around the distributor then replace the distributor gasket or O-ring.
It could also be leaking oil out of the back of the intake manifold. Gasket or sealer may have moved while tighting the intake bolts. Could be coming from the oil sending unit behind the distributor too.

YES IT COULD BE , BUT IT MAY NOT BE THE ONLY PROBLEM. YOU NEED TO HAVE THE CAR SCANNED TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY OTHER PROBLEMS BEFORE REPLACEING THE MAP SENSOR

Does it matter to install header gaskets on a 350 Chevy engine or not?
It'll leak pretty bad without gaskets. I soak the gaskets overnight in a pan of water before installing. Seems to help.
Why is there oil in the spark plugs in 96 Infiniti g20 All of them Mechanic wants to change valve gasket before attempting to change distributor?
Because that is where the oil is coming from, it's nothing to do with the distributor. There are o rings between the valve cover and engine in each spark plug hole. It is good practice to replace all the gaskets at once, they come in a kit.

This problem is due to a weak igniter circuit within the distributor and was solved by replacing the distributor.

Heat comes and goes 99 Chevy Malibu TEMP COOLANT LIGHT COMES AND GOES WHY?
Thermostat's starting to stick. Needs replacing a.s.a.p. Most Malibu with the 3.1 engine have the same problem and it's your intake manifold gaskets that are probably bad... Intake gaskets are located in the middle of the valve cover and reach the bloc (V). Look with a flashlight near the bloc under the thermostat housing (rear) and behind the power steering pump (front)if you see coolant in these areas your intake gaskets are probably bad. Check engine oil dipstick for indications of a milkshake and high level of oil... on my car, oil was clean but changing intake gaskets solved the coolant slowly leak problem. Before attempting to replace your intake gaskets, have your head gaskets tested by a mecanic. Because if they are bad too (will appen if you wait before solving the problem and that your engine overheat too much), one you have reached intake gaskets, it's not verry complecated to to replace them too. Only exaust manifolds will be on the way before removing the heads. If they are good, just search for the procedures on sites like autozone.com or search in Google... on how to replace intake gaskets. I've already written the entire procedure I think on this site. I'm not a pro and I've done the job myself. Have your cooling system bleeded by a mecanic after you've done the job... By doing it yourself, you'll save hundreds dollars!

Fuel pump, crank sensor, distributor pickup, engine ECM, wiring problem, ignition switch problem, MAP sensor. This is why they have mechanics shops.
Do you need to disconnect the battery before replaceing the ecm?
