Cam seal going? Should I replace? 900 1993

I've got an oil leak in my 940t. Seems to be coming from somewhere between the upper timing belt cover and the valve cover, right at the front of the engine. My brand new water pump is starting to get covered in oil, along with some of my exhaust gasket. I'm assuming it's the cam seal?

I had all seals and valve cover gasket replaced a year and a half ago when the timing belt was done. Is this possibly due to excess crankcase pressure? Or do these seals sometimes go bad before they're due?

I know I don't technically have a "flame trap" on my turbo engine, but is there an equivalent that might need cleaning?

Thanks very much for any advice!
