what to replace for engine oil leaks

92 Camry, 3VZ. I've got the engine stripped apart fixing oil leaks. So far I've put in new cam seals and a distributer o-ring that were leaking bad, as well resealed the half moons on the heads. I'm going to replace the crank seal if I can get the bolt off. The car has a lot of oil under it, so much it's hard to tell where it is coming from. I'm worried I will not have replaced all the seals I should have to stop the leaks. Any advice on the obvious things I should replace other than what I already have? thanks.

Front and rear mains
Oil pump gasket
Spark plug tube grommets
Valve cover gasket

All other gaskets required to reassemble the engine

Use RTV for the oil pan(s)

If I knew which engine, I could be more specific. You said cam seals (plural) so, 3VZ?

There's an o-ring sealing the oil filter mount. It's normally a bear to replace because the front exhaust downpipe blocks access to the bolts. Now would be a great time to replace it.

Edit: Here's a link to a thread with a pic showing where it is.

The p/n is 90301-68004; should cost about $8.
