Default Doing my timing belt and cam seals a few more questions! (tons of pics)

First some pics that maybe you guys can shed some light one what is going on.

First i have oil every where but on this pic the oil is on the bottom of the exhaust manifold but not on the manifold, so is the bottom not hot enought to burn the oil?

Ths cams look good.

Looks like it was clean recently but still leaking oil every where. Gasket also looked good but still leaks.

Why are the cam seals diff? One(pass) looks like metal silver seal an its not leaking while the driver side is the orange rubber one and it is leaking. I suppose past owner used a aftermarket seal?

Default the metal is used so the seal won't collapse when the valve cover is pressed down. and the rubber

w/plastic one has nothing to collapse it so it can be just pressed in
