Re: Oil Accumulation

Valve cover gasket and cam seal are probably bad. Easy DIY.

Re: Oil Accumulation

hard to tell but looks like valve cover gasket,

while you are doing your timing belt and have the valve cover off, i would suggest replacing the valve cover gasket, the camshaft end cap/seal (passenger end of cam), and the 4 seals around the spark plug holes, that should take care of all possibilities,

Re: Oil Accumulation

there is a cap that seals the passenger end of the camshaft, where the distributor would be if the car had one....its fairly common for that cap to develop a leak over long periods of time and, when it does oil will drip down and sit on top of the tranny, there are many threads on here about it,
