Most likely the O ring but if there is oil around your valve covers I would replace the gaskets as well.

how to change the dist o-ring:
1. put the motor on tdc
2. take off the distributor cap
3. the rotor will be at the 1 o'clock position when the motor is on TDC
4. remove the 12mm nut and pull out the whole assembly
5. replace o-ring and reinstall distributor
6. after reassembly use a timing light to make sure the ignition timing is right.
good luck
