Default Is bank 1 the passenger side?

Could the cam position sensors leak oil as well?

Default Yes. No.

Bank one is passeneger side.

The sensor won't leak, but each sensor (one on the front of bank one and one on the rear of bank two) each have a cam seal behind them that can leak. There are also seals where each cam protrudes from each head.

Default so to get this straight, I'll need to order....

2 cam plugs
4 camshaft seals
4 cranshaft seals?

Also, do the cam plugs just pop out? Are they secured by bolts/screws?

thanks for all the help.

Default I'd advise you to find the leak and order what you need to fix it.

To do all seals we mentioned, you'd need:

2 cam plugs
2 cam adjuster seals
4 cam seals (timing belt must be removed)
1 front crank seal (timing belt must be removed)
1 rear main seal (engine or trans must be removed)

Yes. Make sure they are installed correctly.

Thanks 4Driver4! Looks like the cam plugs are the cheapest and easiest things to tackle.

I'd find the leak first. No sense replacing things that aren't a problem.
