Default distributer oil leak!

I have a 94' honda prelude si with a severe oil leak from the bottom bolt on the distibuter, I work at a tire/lube shop and some of the guys there said its just the o ring. But is it better to just replace the whole thing?

Yep.

You're probably going to have to replace the oil pump and pan too. And since the oil is coming out the bottom of the distributor, you'll need a new one of those plus you'll have to check the heads since they probably haven't gotten enough either and they're fucked.

You can replace the entire distributor or just by the O ring that is causing the issue. If you have the money to waste it is up to you.
