Distributor leaking oil at bottom where it meets up with the intake?

i have a chevy 350sb that i just put in my car and i ran it for awhile with a re-built distributor (no problems) the car wasn't getting the power it should have been getting so i tried changing the distributor with a better mallory HEI, now when the car gets up to temp it leaks oil like crazy from the bottom of the distributor where it meets up with the intake how does this happen?? what do i need to do to fix it like i said never had this problem befor also i replaced the carb i had an edlebrock now i have a holley same cfm don't really know if a change there makes any difference but just so you know incase it doseDistributor leaking oil at bottom where it meets up with the intake?
like said before i got here is has a round paper gasket that goes between the distributor shaft and the intake Fel-pro is the only gasket company that i am aware of who offers this without having to buy a intake set good luck and sorry but im not sure of anything on the carbsDistributor leaking oil at bottom where it meets up with the intake?
there is supposed to be a gasket between the distributor and the intake. bet it is torn or gone
The distributor should have oil seal onto it. You may get another seal for it.
Check your oil sending unit mounted next to distributor. it will leak when engine is running.
