im not too familiar with sohc but it should still have the cam seal gasket under the dizzy, check if thats where the leak is coming from.

Re: oil leak!!! (jdmyoo)
That's the only thing that will leak and collect oil under the dizzy on a SOHC... Since we don't have a second cam, there's no cam seal to worry about... The distributor O-Ring is essentially the cam seal since the camshaft is what drives the dizzy. If it was your valve cover gasket, that would be pretty easy to spot.
Easiest way to check is to pull the whole distributo off (3 12mm bolts) and see how much gunked up oil you have built up. While you're there, check the condition of the said O-Ring and you'll probably find it a bit shrunken for the groove it sits in a it will probably flat instead of round...
