Yes a common problem. Just get a new one.

Subject: Coolant distributor leak - common? Fixable?

I was very excited with hopes that my '85 Hersheymobile with a 2.1
transplant would be running this weekend, but it is not to be.  I
transferred the entire Syncro cooling set up, and  I have leak at the
coolant distributor that's at the fire wall.  Specifically, the large,
flat
cap on the side of the distributor is weeping at the seam and this is
without any pressure in the system.

Do I dare attempt a fix?  If not buy a good used one or bite the bullet
and
get a new one?
