(Home) Cam shaft oil seal

I have a 4x4 auto 2CT townace 1990, and it has been loosing oil.
After about 400-500 miles, the oil level drops from the top of the full mark to about one third down towards the empty mark. I haven’t been to concerned as I thought it was just burning it. However I have recently noticed an oil patch on the side of the engine, just below the manifold on the nearside front of the engine. My mobile man thinks it may be the front cam shaft oil seal, and cannot find a part number for it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

1990 model is a problem, there's a change during that model year.

early 90 (up to october) 90311 38025

later 90311 38061

(or take it out and go to your nearest bearing house)

Thanks Dave, I am not sure why, but every car I have ever owned has been one that falls into the catagory of "there's a change during that model year" so I will get one of each just to be sure.
regards for now
