Anyone had troubles with their camshaft seals (oil leak)?
How serious is the problem likely to be after repair?
Is there a chance major damage could be done while camshaft seals have been leaking?

possibly cam gears ( there was 2 seals replaced)
I think the cam cover seal would be a one piece item.

There's two camshafts, there's two camshaft seals, and there's two cam cover seals. Both are relatively easy to replace, and leaks aren't likely to cause TOO much damage, except for making a mess. However, if the cam belt is all oily etc. then slip a new one one as it goes together, in case the oil has effected it. Well worth the few lousy extra $.
