Regarding oil leak, wasch your engine completely and drive it slowly or idle for couple of minutes. You should see where the leak source is placed. And slowly, because air flow won't smear the oil all over the engine.
Well, I know that the distributor is still leaking oil, but there's another leak that I'm sure is the main cause for the smell of burning oil when I get off of the freeway or anywhere where I'm doing extended driving.

Perhaps anyone have some good tips on how to wash the bottom of your motor without spraying yourself in the face with grease? :P
