Are my distributor cap and rotor just f*ed up so the coil is sending out a spark but has nowhere for it to go to? I was thinking a new cap, rotor, wires, and plugs should solve this problem, what do you guys think??

your going to need a new ignition coil wire. Your coil wire is arcing because it *has* a place to go.

Apparently you have a cut or tiny slice or whatever on the coil wire, your oil return hose is grounded and therefore in close contact it is sparking.
