I was told that the cam seals are leaking, is this something that needs to be repaired right away or can I watch the oil usage and make a decision later? Will I hurt the engine in any way by doing this?

Hello,

It depends on how severe the leak is from the cam seals.
Keep in mind that these type of leak will progressively get worse over time.
You will need to keep an eye on the oil level regularly as well as the leak area.
It is best to not to let it go for too long.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
