So I'd say the cam seal is just theoretical. Inspecting, and cleaning, maybe dye, will get you closer to a cause.
And, aesthetics aside, are you getting drops on the garage floor after every time you drive back in?

no not every time Walt, but im moving to a Condo in a year or so and i cant have any leaks that drip onto the floor, and of course it drops onto my exchangers so quite a stinky smokey mess.

I have decided to park the car until i can get a closer look at it in case i have a walking rocker. Its only a couple hours to check the uppers so think its time well worth investing.
Ill update here when i do that
