he is correct and nice pic to show the detail.

 

It is probably the distributor O-ring but to make sure, clean up the area with brake cleaner or something and then leave it for a day so you can see clearly. The cam end cap is also known for leaking oil.

The cam end cap is not under the distributor

A distributor o-ring is like 5 bucks...

 

the oil leak is under the exhaust cam cap and it goes all the way down and it seems like oil is coming out the sensors...

 

the oil leak is under the exhaust end cam cap do i need a new seal? and it seems like the oil is coming out the sensors too...ill put a picture up later.

I should hope that most people know that but sometimes it is hard to tell where the oil is coming from if your engine is greasy and that whole side is covered in oil.

What's that? It wasn't the distributor o-ring?? It looks like my first post was valid after all... Anyway, you can buy a new end cap for cheap at the dealership. It isn't hard to replace, you just have to pull the valve cover etc. to get at it.

 

its most likely to be the o-ring or valve cover gasket.

You cant use brake cleaner around rubber. If you do, even if some seal wasn't leaking before, it will leak after it's been exposed to brake cleaner. Read the can.

 

and you may as well replace them all while you have the valve cover off.
