Oil leak 200

My 240 turbo, B21FT, 275k miles, is spraying oil from inside the timing belt cover onto the head. The head was replaced about 5k miles ago, and was gone through by a reliable machine shop. The flame trap was thoroughly cleaned at that time. As I read posts, I wonder if the flame trap could be clogged this soon, or are new cam seals not a standard item to replace during a valve job?
The car is a spare for now, but I like it better than my 940. Better built, but not as comfy.....
I understand I should replace the timing belt anyway, but for now would like to fix the oil leak so I can replace the distributor cap and rotor which became so oilsoaked it barely runs.
My questions are:
Is it difficult to replace the cam seals once the timing belt is off?
Is there a good way to get at the flame trap without removing the intake manifold? I cleaned it up when the head was off, so access wasn't a problem at that time.
Thanks for any advice.
