Default I found out where my oil was leaking from...(look inside)

O.k. awhile back I posted about my car leaking oil where the head meets the block. I had alot of members telling me "it's your cam seals change them out and you'll be fine, the oil just collects there (where the B16A stamp is at). Well on me, the other day I cleaned the crap out of the spot where I thought the oil was leaking from, I started the car and the oil was obviously leaking from the cam seals. Now my question is should I go with aftermarket cam seals or oem honda seals?

TIA

either one will work perfect. Jus use a lil bit of hondabond and you're all set. Stock ones dont start to leak for at least a few years. I have even seen some first gen B16's with no leaks at that seal....but i dont know if someone in japan changed them previously.
