How hard would this be to fix...

I am pretty sure I have an oil leak from the O ring behind the distributor. How hard would this be to fix on my own, or would I be better off getting it done at a garage. It's not that bad of a leak, I only lose about 1/2 qt every oil change which I have been told isn't bad for a car with 140,000 miles on it.

You would probly need a new O-ring. You can get kits with these, but they come with every ring and Gasket for the engine and run upwards or $300. It might just be cheaper to get your local dealer to do it.
