Of course distributers can leak oil, they go through the rocker cover onto one of the cams

Distributor is the least of your worry's! All I can say is bring an AE86 enthusiast with you when looking at one and you will be fine thats the easiest answer I can give you. You go look at one and could bring home a shitter if you dont know them inside out, you have to be very careful, get a good one and you'll have a car that will make you smile everytime you drive buy a bad one and you wont have 2 pennys to rub together till you sell it.
