I had a similar oil leak at the distributor hole on my 428 drag race engine. Due to block and deck machining, the rubber distributor seal sat too high up to seal properly against the bore in the intake manifold. What I did was cut the seal groove of the distributor body wider (on a lathe), so that I could fit TWO seals into the groove. Never had a leak since.
