The cam seals behind the cam wheels, put it this way black plastic covers off, timing belt off, cams wheels off, then under plastic cover off before you can get a closer inspection of the cam seals.

I second that....

the cam covers are on both sides of the engine (left and right),its the part that the spark plugs go through (at least this will help you look int the correct place).
