Distributor o-ring, fuel pump breather if the internal seal has failed. Best to get engine cleaner (gunk) or similar and get it all clean, then check for the leak source.

That's not too bad I've had mine like that before.
Just make sure you've got oil in the engine.
As said above it will either be the o ring or the fuel pump. Both dead easy to fix!
Best of luck!

Re: oil leak. oil everywhere.
Haha! Mine's got an oil leak down the back of the engine too, though the level in the sump never seems to go down I just figured I'd leave it until it got so bad I was losing oil faster than I could put it in.
There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
