Default Oil leak help

I think i have an oil leak coming from the cam seals, which I plan to replace but could oil also be coming from the plugs in the head behind the cams gears? I highlighted them in the pic. Are there crush washers behind them? Part number?

Possible but not as likely. Best you can do is just wipe everything down and keep an eye out for where the wet spot(s) return.

Looks dry under the plugs. I would put money on the cam seals.

I'm trying to figure out why there is a coil over in your engine bay and front and center in that pic LOL

I am sure it is the cam seals and valve cover gasket but i wanted to make sure. Its hard to tell with the timing belt spitting oil everywhere

This is why there is a coilover in the engine area. Because Race Car

Yea its usually the cam seals those never leak. Man i seen your post about the engine blowing love the setup. Id look into mounting the intercooler upright above the engine so when driving the air will directly flow twards the intercooler. sort of like behind the seats so its not directly on top of the engine soaking its heat. But please tell me how you built this it looks like it will be so fun and will look awsome when you fit the carbon pannels on like you mentioned. id put on a upper timing cover any debri gets in there you can rip the belt or skip timing, happended to me on my super charged B series using a Pro charger. The belt ripped and flew into the timing belt.
