What about slowboy racing they are based in South london. I have used that oil stop leak stuff but not on a scooby on a Almera Gti and it does stop the oil leak.

Gasket sealent on camshaft oil seals? Who on earth taught you that particular gem?

providing you're good with the tools this will cost you about £20 quid to do.
Roughly £6 for the seal and you'll need to remove your radiator so allow for antifreeze/coolant too.

I would also take the opportunity to change the cambelt if it hasnt been done for a while though although obviously that will up the cost of the job.

Put a screw through the old seal this will allow you to grip it with a pair of grips to remove the old seal they are a sod to get out other wise.

Whole job no more than a couple of hours start to finish.

Make sure you align cam wheels and mark the timing belt before you take it off if the timing belt has lost his markings.

I've included a link to a PDF to redo the cambelt.

Hope that helps mate.
