No, it was one or the other ... gasket prior to 69 ... Chrysler bean counters would not have allowed the use of both a gasket and an o ring. First there was a steel embossed gasket used ... remember the distributor body touching the block is the GROUND PATH ... before the switch to an O ring.

Gravity is a strange thing, look for your leak above that puddle point.
