4afe oil leak!

Hello everybody! Well I own a 93' Toyota Corolla with a 4afe engine, 1.6L manual transmission.
The car recently got new ring set (twice) new pistons, bearings, because it was burning oil already. Anyway, the job had to be done twice since the mechanic was not very efficient (which meant lots of money wasted). So now the car seems to be fine but there is an oil leak and i was told is the O-ring of the distributor (oil seal) that might be screwed up. I bought one and would like to know if anyone knows how to properly replace it. Also to see if I got the correct one. Thanks!!!

its the right one if it fits on the distributor id the best answer I can give here.

Make sure to put some fresh oil on the o-ring and the hole it fits in when reassembling. Sometimes they do in fairly easily and sometimes they are tough. Some twisting as you push it in may be required.
