    So which is the cam tower seal and which is the valve cover seal. I had a little oil but just had an oil change that might have been messy… sprayed it with brake cleaner and keeping an eye on it.. if what I think is the cam tower seal is right is a gray seal.

    Got it. Think I’m in the clear on that one but possibly a valve cover seal issue

    2021, 51k miles. Driver side looks good. Picture below is the passenger side. It looks a little damp/orange. But I also use Amsoil HD metal protectant so I wonder when I was undercoating it splashed on there. Perhaps someone smarter than me can take a look to see if there's more to it. Thanks!

    Kind of hard to sea the cam shaft seal in this pic but don’t see anything that looks like an active leak
