is it coming from the distributor base where it meets the intake? If so you need to make sure that you have a fresh gasket between the two surfaces and that the distributor is fully clamped down to the intake.
What would cause this to happen??

What are you running for breathers on your valve covers? If there is no way for crankcase pressure (blow by) to escape, be it an evac system, breathers, etc, the pressure is going to have to go somewhere, even if it is up and out through your distributor.

Jordy I run breathers that have lins to the headers. In the lines are one way valves... I better check the valves....
What grade oil are you running JP?

As far as oil, I run straight 50W Racing, either Kendall or Valvoline. I've run both with no noticable difference in pressure. I also run 1 QT of Lucas oil stabilizer as part of a preventive maintenance program in the event water gets introduced to the oil again.

Justin, I believe there is oil pressure from the galleys to the dist shaft (normal). You might need a new seal on the mallory dist. There is a place in Fullerton that could probley help you as they work w/ mallory's. If you were going to move to the MSD, you could do that now.
And Bassett is right down the st. for the Scoop....
