Oil leak coming from under distributor cap??? Options

[Tech-Nics]

So I was at my grandmother's new house she just bought and when I was leaving to head home I noticed I left a small puddle of oil on her brand new drive way. Checked the oil level and it was very low. So I added more oil and then started looking for the leak and after removing the intake and searching with a flash light I noticed small steady oil drops falling from underneath the distributor cap. Could it be the O-Ring or CAM seal??? I'm not to good in this neck of the woods with engines. I know for sure though the oil leak is coming from the bottom side of the D-cap. How much is it to have it fixed or is it easy enough for me to do it??? Or leave it to the professionals that rape my wallet?

Any ideas/help ?????
Thanks guys.

^ You can try that but usually that means the oil has already reached into the assembly where the coil is. There are two O-rings one on the engine side and one on the distributor side. I don't believe or know if they sell the distributor rebuild kit or O-ring replacement anymore, you can check. Worse case, if you don't correct it, it will soak and your car won't start.
