Thanks! Either 2 of those seals will be easy to replace? Im guessing valve cover has to be taken off to replace the cam seal right?

correct, the valve cover and then you will have to remove the 4 10 mm bolts from the intake cam cap. its really simple. gl

Yeah, that's probably the distributor o-ring. The cam seal is on the other side (intake cam), but that doesn't rule it out...

You should degrease it with some GUNK or better yet with some scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner. Get an inspection mirror and see where the real leak is coming from after a drive or two. CLean it up real good first though.

If you remove the cam cap and the valve cover, use RTV where needed during reassembly.

Just pull the distributor and get a better picture, but jack up the right side of the car before pulling it so more oil doesn't come out. I'd suspect the o-ring on the distributor, but it could be the o-ring on vtec solenoid or even the head gasket.
