good news, no blown gaskets. the cam seal had slipped out alittle ways and was rubbing on the back of the timing gears. replaced the seal put my belt back on, ran it down the road a few times, no more leak.

one question though, as i was pulling my timing belt off, one of the gears had the lip on the inside, and the other had the lip on the outside, is this how it should be, or did the genius who had the car before me, put it on backwards?

Yes it is suposed to be like that..They do that to keep it centered on the gears so it dont roll off and chew up the belt or slip off completely..Glad to here it was something simple..
