It seems to me that everyone is looking too far into this problem. It sounds exactly like the ditributor has an accumulation of oil in it and that will cause a host of problems. There is no reason to replace a distributor with this issue. There is a black , oddly shaped o-ring that goes around the base of the cover on the dist. It IS a replacement part and the cost is about $3.50. I replaced this seal after cleaning out the distributor with ELECTRONICS contact cleaner. DO NOT USE ANYTHING BUT ELECTRONICS cleaner. You can just clean it out and run it without replacing the o-ring but the problem will resurface.
This is the first thing I did when I was given a 1995 Altima GXE with 198K miles on it. Have been using the car daily for over a year now without a single burp or hiccup!!! Good Luck
