Inner seal on the distributor. Not the one in the head
Also stop using "redtop" "bluetop" shit
We arent nissan scum or honda fags.
Its large port or small port.

Are you sure you know what a quart of spilled oil looks like? Also are you sure it's from the engine and not the transmission or something else?

I have this issue as well. I swear i've had quite a few significant puddles but the dipstick tells me i'm still at full which is unnerving. OP you've convinced to drain it all out to see what's left.

Do what this anon said. Feel under the distributor heat shield. If oily you've found your issue. Proceed to google for the issue and you'll find the write up and link to the rebuild kit with both inner and outer seal.

mines been leaking oil too, have the same drop in the middle of the oil pan. Initially thought it was the distributer o rings but turns out it was the valve cover gasket. Pull your ignition coils and see if there's oil in the spark plug tubes.

pic related is what mine looked like.

Oil cooler lines and oil filter sandwich plate are also common leaks. Check your oil pan gasket while youre at it.
