Default Help! leaking oil from distributor!

I tried researching this problem but all I kept getting was either replace the O ring (which is not where mine's leaking) or replace the distributor (don't wana spend $250 as we just spend $300 for a starter for my dad's Z4). Oil is seeping into my dizzy. k here' ssome more pics to show you guys preciesly where it was leaking.

it seems like these are the only things that are supposed to prevent oil from seeping in there.

but looking at the design of this whole thing, I don't see how it's possible oil wouldn't ever leak through there and into the dizzy housing?

I think there's a small rubber O-ring missing (between distributor and cyl head cover). Which model Accord are we seeing here?

this is off my H22, maybe I should post this on the Prelude forums as well? From the manual, there is one O ring, but that's notwhere the oil's leaking in my case. And the O ring was taken out in the pics. The place I circled is before the O ring blocks any oil. I have visual confirmation the place I circled is where the oil's seeping into the dizzy cuz I can wiggle the shaft a lil bit and see oil seeping in the red circled area.

Not sure but are the three metal rings supposed to be there?
