Default Do both cam seals, crank seal and timing belt together.

Oil leaking on the cam belt will weaken it, and may as well do all the seals if one leaks.

Default First & foremost; Always confirm the customer's complaint

So make sure you actually do have leaking cam seals by pulling the covers and getting your eyes on it. If you need to, blast off the area with carb cleaner and drive for a few days, checking every day.

You could simply have leaking valve cover gaskets, or a leaking valley pan gasket that are making it look like you have a leak elsewhere.

Save your money and order the 3 timing belt tools from zdmak.com (cam sprocket puller, crankshaft pin, cam holding bar) and then do repairs yourself. If it's a car you're going to keep, the tools will be paid for the first time you use them.
