To replace the valve cover gasket, remove the PVC valve and undue the spark plug wires (make sure you know which spark plug they go to) and remove the valve cover by loosening the accorn nuts. Your valve cover gasket kit should include new gaskeys for the spark plugs and the mounting holes. If you aren't replacing the distributor, you shouldn't need to mess with the O-ring. However, if you want to change it, you don't need any special tools. Just unplug the distributor wires (MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE THEY GO!!) and then remove the distributor.

Check for humidity in the distributor cap. Most Hondas had a gasket that was at the base of the distributor and they can dry and crack with age, or not be replaced during a routine tune-up.
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.
