Oil leak under 5sfe coil packs?

[TCam01]

I see where the leak is coming from but not to sure on which seal it is. Its under the coil packs and looks like its coming from a circular indent on the head, in the middle below the packs. There's a mount of some sort blocking a good view of it (stolen pic of what im talking about below 5 points if anyone guesses where ) I have the valve cover off now i am resealing the circular cam seal but its dry as a whistle so that's not where the leak was coming from deff not the valve cover its self any one know?? I will try to have pics up later hopefully...

The rubber cam plug is shot. You'll have to remove the air cleaner assembly, pull the bolts on that black bracket (bolt at bottom of it is hard to get to) because you will have to unbolt the TB bolts (3) and remove the TB to get at the plug. At least I did it that way. replace the TB gasket as well.

hmmm .. Thats a tough one there. If the valve cover isn't leaking and the cam seal isnt leaking the only other place I could see leaking would be if your rear main seal is going bad.

If you had a distributor I would say the distributor seal is going bad

Hi,
I am slightly confused by this - are you referring to the plug that is removed in the above pic? The plug between the valve cover and the head? (Where I think a distributor went in the previous generation car.)

Thanks in advance.

Thank you! So i can replace the seal outside of the head? Im scared i would have to take the head assembly out and replace the seal from the inside. How would i go about replacing the seal it sounds like you have had to replace it yourself as well?
