Whenever I'm driving in rainy or humid weather, the motor suddenly loses power. Usually it just gets worse and worse, and a few minutes lates there is no other thing to do than pull over. Even if the pedal is to the metal, it won't rev properly, and it sounds like one sylinder isn't working. After I let it rest for five minutes, it starts fine again and runs better.... sometimes even perfect.
I changed the ignition cables, cap and rotor, but the problem seems to remain. Didn't change plugs, they are not old. Today I saw that there was oil around the valve cover/middle exhausts. Not much but can this be the problem?I checked the spark plugs also but they were not oily. See pics

There was also oil around distributor

When I changed distributor cap I also noticed a little oil inside... it should be nothing.
So I have five things to suspect
1. Oil leaks at valve cover or distributor
2. Moisture in distributor or coil
3. Spark plugs
4. Fuel filters (never changed)
5. Carb
Anything else? Where should I start?
