Default Distributor Oil Leak?

I have an 89 Cherokee 4.0L. It appears to be leaking oil from around the distributor. Is there an O-ring or something on the distributor?
Anyone run into this scenario before?

Thanks

Yes there is a dist base gasket. Check your oil filter adapter that's more common to leak and it will look like it's the dist. 3 O rings in there and can be hard to get at
