I finaly just got my car back together after replacing the head and I started the car up and I noticed a few leaks, one of them being the camshaft seals. ( Both seals are leaking from the weap hole on exhaust and intake side, behind the cams.) I've been reading a few post on how easy it is to do without removing the cams. But I can't find the actule post on how to replace the seals. Does anyone actule know if I can replace both seals without pulling the cams out? The sooner I can get this done the better I'll be.
New cams are leaking oil behind cam gears. HELP

Actually you can! You unbolt the cam gears pull out the old seals and then carefully install the new ones 
. Of course the timing belt has to be removed then re-installed.

Yes you should see the seals very easily. Can you get a picture of what you have going on?

If it had seals you would not see the weep holes. That makes the job easy. Just install the new seals and everything else!
