Thank you guys....
OK, I removed the stud, wire brushed it and coated the threads with the Permatex sealant, reinstalled it, took the car out for a long ride and it looks like it solved it..
On the other hand, the leak at the distributor may be due to the gasket at the inside bottom of the shaft that has failed.
I can probably replace the gasket myself by removing the distributor but I will need direction with that also, if it's not too much trouble.
OIl leak Just below the exhaust manifold.
