Go to the dealer. They have a seal kit for the distributer.

Interestingly enough, when I called the dealer about my o-ring leaking oil into the distributor, they warned me that once it leaked, I'd eventually have to replace it entirely (the distributor). Any truth to that?

Get the distributor seal kit from a Nissan dealer rather than a generic assortment that may not fit.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1995 Nissan Altima needed the correct distributor O-ring after an assorted pack from an auto parts store did not fit well. An expert recommended getting the distributor seal kit from the dealer. The owner later asked whether oil leaking into the distributor means the whole distributor must eventually be replaced, but that question was not answered.
