Head gasket... Valve cover gasket... Cam seal..

Check them in this order..

1) Valver Cover... Just pop it off and check to see if there's any wear around it.

2) Cam seal(s) check it when your cover is off...

3) Head gasket... especially if you're running a mini-me.

Oh yeah, and did you remember to take out the oil control jet when you did that??

And don't list Altezza Tail Lights as a mod... yucky..

before taking things apart go to a parts store buy a can of engine shampoo, go to car wash wash motor drive for a few days the see exactly where your leak is.

well when i bought the engine it only had 2 bolts holding the distributor. So i'm guess it's leaking from there since it should be 3 bolts that holds it.

Bingo... that should do it. And don't worry about the oil control thing I mentioned. You'd know it by now if you bought it that way. Good luck!
