Thanks for the replies! Here's what my mechanic found out...when you start and run the car at idle...(or 2000 rpm), it doesn't leak oil, but when you drive it, it leaks terribly. He's not sure what is causing it yet...but there is oil all over inside the engine bay. Maybe there is a common problem? He questions if something from the head gasket is causing this...or if it is from the valve cover gasket or if there is something else that could cause it. (maybe the afore-mentioned distributor o-ring?...which I do believe was replaced).
