The exhaust leaking from where you say wont affect the running at all . I suspect an Air leak , have any Air hoses cracked on the Inlet manifold ?

Car does it cold or hot. Vibrates at idle with a small misfire and idles at about 850/950. Then it stops and vibrates again at 1500. I'm yet to open the distributor. Want to do it today but my knee is acting up, not sure if I'm gonna be able to. Will take pictures. I can't find any air leaks, that was my first suspicion. My i should change the hoses that looks holder, but non looks cracked though. Some on the intake look like the rubber on the outside is starting to crumble, but no enough to leak.

Don't use white spirit, it leaves an oil residue that will attract dirt and cause tracking. Use something like methylated spirits, isopropyl alcohol or similar solvent that evaporates leaving no residue.

Cap is definitely oily. Doesn't look like it's cracked though.
Shouldn't rotor come right off? Do i have to twist it or pry it off? https://imgur.com/a/7LJIhhK

Answering your question, normally no. It has done that a few times when was raining, including the other day. It jumped probably as high as 2000+. But only did that a few times. If it's related to rain and humidity, it's normal, sunce we are having severe draughts. Rotor pic: https://imgur.com/a/GGmEwuR
