Remove distributor cap.If there is oil inside the dizzy, internal shaft seal is bad.

The distributor carries two seals a inner and an outer seal, most likely it leaking from the inner seal, you will need to remove the distributor cap, then remove the distributor compeltly from the engine, where after you will have to take out everything from the distributor there you will find the seal in the bottom... this video will show you just how to do it your self

It's under the cap?

you need to pull the cap, rotor, and the cover and see if there is oil in there. If there is, the internal o ring needs to be replaced.

It's not the valve cover gasket?

not if it is coming from underneath the dizzy most likely no. you would see the leak from somewhere else
