most likely didn't install it right or someone handed you a bad o-ring.

Were the cams from a running motor? I worry something bad could be going on there or torque wasn't applied evenly and in correct order for the cam caps. Another possibility is a bad bearing in the distributor.

Someone else want to chime in here?

^^ This. Take the cap off and if there is oil inside the housing the shaft seal needs to be replaced.
