Default Oil leak and cam head problems.

This is the last thing i did on spring break I swear.

I noticed I still have an oil leak. I replaced the drivers side valve cover gasket and the cam seal and the passengers side cam seal.

I cant seem to find the leak its under all of my engine close to timing belt and all the wayy back.
I know its not the upper or lower oil pan and RMS. the drivers side cam plug looks fine.

Idk what else to replace, Im out of Ideas.

Also when I was replacing my drivers side valve cover gasket I noticed scratches on those parts (pic) it didnt look normal to me, Is this bad?

TIA

Default how do you know its not your RMS?

It's possible you have multiple leaks. You have oil at the RMS and at the oil pan. Can you see oil coming from higher up on the engine?
