i have a leak looks like its coming from the distributor where it goes in the block. i was told to pop off my dipstick a litttle because i may have bad bearings or something and it should releive the crankcase pressure?

perhaps the gasket on the dizzy wasn't quite installed correctly or it moved when you re installed it?
