Looked at the area around the distributor today.  OK, I stuck a piece of paper into the area around the distributor and it came out dark & oily.  Doesn't mean that's the only leak..

You may try cleaning/degreasing the block.  Anywhere that gets oil would then be suspect.

Right after it dries from the cleaning, dust areas with talcum powder. When it leaks you'll know exactly where it originates.

You can't fix stupid but, you can adjust it with a 2x4.

Engine is clean. 

The only leak I've spotted is around the oil cap. 
Chatted with f85gtron and he experienced the same leak when he put 1.6 rockers in his engine.  Guess what, I have 1.6 rockers.

Anyone else experience a leak around the oil cap?  Any solutions?

I'm so glad the forum is back.

YES!  I bought the oil cap gasket from Rodney.  No more leak.

I think every Fiero I've owned had a leaking oil filler cap and none of them had 1.6 rockers.
