Check your distributor and valve cover gasket.

yep what he said. It's probably the o-ring around the dizzy shaft. I'm pretty sure that NAPA still carries the part for like 50 cents or something like that. Autozone sadly does not.

I'll bet you don't have a timing light, which you will need. It's probably a job for the shop in that case.
