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
