Just get the base gasket. Mark where the dist cap is pointing, mark the base of the dist housing and where it enters the block and you should be able to pull out and reinsert your dist. without altering your timing too severely to get it started. Check with a timing light afterwards of course. Oh yeah, it could also be the front end seal of the intake leaking. Or the timing chain cover could be sweating it out at that junction.
