Once again my car crapped out on me. I was driving, started losing power(rpm) so i pulled over car wouldnt drive over 15mph? little back firing. HAd it towed to my house.. took off the distributor and there was oil all over the bottom of it and inside of it aswell. the rotor would barely spin due to all the grease/oil buildup. on the side of the dist that mounts to the cam/head there was oil residue all down the side of it as if it were dripping out . Could this be a cam seal gone bad? please help me. thanks

There's two rubber seals in the distributor assembly, probably one of them are leaking. Oil all over the distributor electrical connections probably pooped em out. I'm guessing you'll need a new distributor assembly.
