The dizzy has an O ring seal on the end of it. Easy to replace. remove 3 dizzy mounting bolts and pull dizzy out (dont have to remove leads ect) then replace the O ring. Clean dizzy hole out, give the new O ring a little smear of lube and chuck it back in.
If the leak is coming from dizzy cap itself its internal (leaking past dizzy bearing) thats a bigger fix. But try the O ring first..

thanks heaps for the help guys, if the leak is bad enough would it make oil leak down the rear of the block?

not impossible. Could be a bigger problem there mate.

have u had your 200,000km service. e.g. timing belt, water pump?
