Ive got an almost identical leak on my 05. I have replaced cam seals, crank seals, water pump, timing belt, oil pan seal at 144,000 miles. Less than 300 miles later my engine was coated in oil as it was before. Any ideas what i should be looking at next? Oil pump seals?

Oil Leaking on to water pump
My 03 is leaking oil on the exhaust side behind the rear timing belt cover. It’s dripping oil onto the water pump. I’m guessing it’s the exhaust cam seal. Timing belt and all seals replaced less than 10k ago car has 223k on it now. Anyone have any insight?

Update
I resealed the cam caps and replaced the valve cover gaskets at the same time using the Toyota sealent and valve cover gaskets.
The leak appeared to be fixed.��
Hopefully this information will help someone else in the future. Thank you all for your help
