Is this supposed to look like this?

I was taking a look at the distributor on my 83 280zxt. When I removed the roter and cover I found this;

Is this supposed to look like this?-dizzy1.jpg

Is this supposed to look like this?-dizzy2.jpg


I may be wrong but I don't think this is supposed to be sticky and leaking like this. Can someone take a look and let me know? If this is messed up, where can I get this part?

I can't see any detail in those tiny pics (maybe I'm just blind?)... could you post larger pics please?

I think it's just the potting resin.
