It seems to be comming from higher up,is there any way to confirm this before tearing it down. this is a car that is for sale and I am trying to figure the risk. the cam seal I can handle, it's the crank seal that is more than I want to handle

yes if it is above the cam then a valve cover gasket.crank seal is pretty simple as well about the same as the cam seal. billymac
