Oil leak at front of Impreza sport

Hi, just joined forum after taking ownership of my 1st Impreza.
Only to find on trip home a bloody oil leak at the front of the engine.
Now my mechanic has handed me a list of items to find to get job done. But i'm having a hard time finding certain parts at a good price. Can anyone help with where i can get the following

Cambelt Kit
Front Crank Oil Seal and Gasket
Cam Seals

Cheers

If you buy the complete kit it should come with tensioner but ensure you double check this before buying. Note there are two types of kits which changed around 1997.

Rocker cover gaskets have a tendency to fail on all scoobs so yes definitely a worthwhile investment, when it does begin to leak here you will find that you will become intocxicated by the cars fumes lol.
