Yes.. different issues. The distributors leak internally normally after a 100K miles or so... and that's what is unfortunately hard / not possible to fix. Most just tolerate it. In the internal leakage, the oil actually somehow makes its way down inside the distributor inside the shaft which rotates.
What you're talking about, ie the distributor o-ring at the v/c, generally is a good thing to replace, but seldom is that the location of the leak when its dripping down on the metal cover over the turbocharger.
