Default sparking on distributor cap, car no start

car is a 94 civic ex, just stoped starting, when cranking if you look at the top of the dist you can see a spark going across the top starting at the ignitor tip inside, or whatever the spring is, and theres no cracks or anything in the cover, but you can see the spark, is the whole thing bad? or does it just need a new rotor maybe?
