I agree with Misfit, the valve cover gasket is the most likely culprit.
When you replaced yours, did you put any ultra gray sealant at the corners
of the gasket where the gasket makes a near right angle turn to go up over
the cam bearing tower? Anyways, the distributor o-ring is easy enough to
replace. Though keep in mind that sometimes the distributor itself is
leaking. There's a seal inside for the distributor shaft. Pull of the cap
and make sure that there's no oil inside the cap or distributor. If there's
oil, you'll need to get a new (or good used) distributor body. The last
time I checked, Honda did not sell these seals separately. You'll also want
to check for the presence of red dust inside the cap. This is usually a
sign of a failing distributor bearing. Again, if you find this, you'll need
a new distributor body as there are no replacements from Honda available.
