Ther is an O ring on the distributor. Remove the distributor bolt & lift out & replace it; however, the leak may be from the rocker cover gasket. Sometimes just a retorquing of the bolts is enough, 7 ft. lbs. is adequate. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Oil leak on a '92 Geo Tracker. Installed an O Ring, but still leaking. Any suggestions?

O-ring where? The drain plug? Distributor shaft? Or do you mean oil seal?
Geo oil drain plug specifies a compressible copper ring washer I think? Need to clean the surfaces well, and torque to spec. My own plug's seal is not perfect, but only a drop here and there usually. Autozone or NAPA can supply you a new plug and washer if needed.

Oil leaking from toyota camry 1992, 1994 model

You don't say what engine it has. The 4-cyl was a better than the V6 for oil leaks.

The V6 had oil leaks from

-rear bank cam cover gasket

-distributor o-ring seal

-oil filter bracket o-ring seal

-crankshaft nose oil seal (less common)

-rear main bearing oil seal (expensive, just leave it)

The 4 cyl leaked oil from

-distributor o-ring seal

-camshaft cover gasket

-rear main bearing seal (expensive, leave it)

Why smoke coming from manifold

Check around the distributor cap. Commonly drips from around the base of the cap and onto the manifold, causing smoke and a stink.

Also seen it leak around the oil cooler at the base of the oil filter. You will need to remove the air filter housing to get at this area, but not too hard.
