oil seepage

i've got a 93 protege SOHC with 133K miles on it and there is oil seeping out of every crevice on my engine that i can see, and it seems that my oil pan is also leaky. should i start replacing gaskets or should i start looking for a new car or engine? meaning: is my engine beyond salvation?

Check the o ring on the distributor . As strange as it sounds if this is leaking the engine will be a mess .

God yes I gotta agree!

My '90 had this replaced at 180K and I thought I had a new engine. By all means have this done, it's worth the bux.
