Default Leaky Distributor

How many ouf you out there have had little bit of oil leaking from the buttom of the distributor. Basically the leak comes from the buttom bolt of the distributor maited to the head. I know there is a rubber gasket that people usually replace, etc. I did that already, still have a little bit of oil leaking out. Any tips/tricks to fix such a small problem?

Around the gasket, yes. Around the bolt it would be uncommon to do so. I have built many motors, and never really had a problem with a distributor. I usually put a new O ring on the distribotor and put a tad of honda bond around the seal to hold it in place. It seems to me that oil is getting past that seal somehow and comming out from the mating surface between the distributor and the head.
