7A-FE right? Mine did the same thing when it was cooler outside, suspected a bad engine coolant temp sensor but never confirmed.

Yes, it's an easy leak to fix later so I'd give it a go.

It does. . . by more than a half mm. OD (O-ring)-OD (shaft) > 0.5 mm. But the unused space visible in the groove is an appreciable fraction of the full O-ri...

The O-ring should stick out a little fatter than the shaft to seal, maybe you got the wrong o-ring on the distributor?

If its in an engine on a distributor shaft then it's made for contact with oil so you can lube with whatever it's supposed to seal. Lube brake piston rings with brake fluid, lube, lube cooling system ...

Engine oil or silicone grease, either will work to lube the O-ring, I prefer silicone grease cause it's thicker and will stay in place when you're stuffing it in better.
