Oil leaks on the new 945 T-Wagon!! 900

Second day driving the new 945 T-Wagon after changing out the old spark plugs and putting in a new set of Bosch Platinums. Oddly enough, and as might be expected, the PO had also done this not long ago as the plugs I took out looked pretty darned good and, they too were Bosch Plats.

After driving the car, I have begun to notice a light bit of oil which seems to be coming from the oil filler cap gasket and seeping ever so lightly onto the valve cover. Of greater concern is the oil that seems to cover the water pump and leak down onto the front of the pan. I'm assuming that I'm going to have to replace the cam seal soon. I can't imagine why it would be leaking. The maintenance has been fantastic from what I can tell. The PO is actually getting ALL the records from mid state this weekend and bringing them back to me in the south of the state for review. The car had the T-Belt done and documented at 55K miles as noted on the sticker atop the radiator shrouding. It now has 88K miles. Should I just go ahead and do just that seal, or do I need to take greater precautions and do the three front that I keep reading about? Thanks gentlemen!

Sincerely,

JB
