I went home to VA this weekend and my dad and I tried something he used to do on his 52 chevy, we cut a cork gasket to go around the distributor and the head. It's not the o-ring that's leaking, but the distributor internally.

It was supposedly changed about 2 years ago, is there anything that causes distributors to go bad?

The distributor is missing a "leak cover" according to my chiltons book. Does this have anything to do with the leak or am I just going to have to buy a new distributor?
