Default Oil leak, have you seen this before?

Hello, I own a 1995 SC400. I purchased the car a few weeks ago and have been working through issues in attempt to get the car back to tip top shape. I gave the engine a thorough cleaning and now am able to see an oil leak from around the driver side camshaft pulley. I see oil on the top side of the A/C compressor and behind and below the camshaft pulley. I cleaned the area and the oil returned. Is this possibly a leaking camshaft seal?

It's very possible. The best way to tell is to remove the valve covers. It's a *****, I know, but it will give you a better idea.
