Don’t know for sure as I have never needed to replace one, but I don’t think you need a special tool for front camshaft seal removal. At the very least, you should be able to simply look at it by removing the cover. Then you should be able to see if the seal is dislodged or simply leaking. Do you have a good repair book? That will guide you.

Good plan to drive it for awhile. If you just recently changed to synthetic your seal leak might initially worsen for awhile (a month or so) and then it should improve. Give it some time. Good luck!
