The coil is in the distributer cap and the distributer goes through the head to connect to the cam so you have a leak from the distributer shaft. Take off the 3 bolts and get a distributer, not sure if seals are sold as a service item.

check the ignitor, it is located on the bottom side in the distributor, has 4 wires going to it. Sounds like a bad ignitor burning up the coil.
