Distributor leak 5th gen

Distributor leak 5th gen
I have a 95 accord lx wit a f22b (vtec) engine installed on it. Since the distributor cap was broken i got another cap and it worked just fine but i soon started to notice small oil spills on the ground and now its all over my 5 speed tranny. I was just wondering if this method in the link will it fix my problem?

yes it is just along the bottom. It is not filling the cap up because the little rubber seal i received for my distributor cap was different shape than my cap, so it extends beyond my cap and is not sealing it so oil just flows out freely. But it does look like its coming from internally.

I would replace the internal seal. I would also replace the o-ring shown in the last pic of the DIY.
There are some steps that are left out of that DIY. Before you remove the distributor, mark a line across where the distributor/cylinder head meet. It is where the top bolt holds the distributor housing. You want to do this because the distributor can rotate to adjust timing. Yours is already adjusted, so why add more steps at the end? You will align the two marks when you reinstall and your timing will be set.
Also, here are some pointers on that DIY. Notice which screws remain in the very first picture at ~10/11 o'clock, so you don't remove them on your distributor.
On the second picture, see how the key has a line going through it? That key is offset, so you can't install the whole distributor 180 degrees off. Before removing the key, mark the distributor shaft where the rotor bolts, so you know which side of the rotor shaft the line in the key faces. If not, then the distributor will be 180 off and your car won't start.

Those should be fine for the seals?
