Oil leak from top of engine
I've got an oil leak somewhere on the back of my engine. It only leaks when the car is running, but it's getting worse. I was thinking it was my valve cover gaskets, but is there some sort of seal at the distributor? There's alot of oil back there! I was just looking for suggestions before I go tearing into it.

Those 2 things are definitely suspects. Also, check the oil pressure sending unit, right behind the dist. That's the most likely to be a severe leak. It can literally pour oil out.
