The gasket set isn't much - Felpro VS50561R is $25 - $30 and will do both sides with plug seals, bolt seals and gaskets. OEM Subaru is sold as separate components and a bit higher.
Yea man, no luck with that picture. Its just too hard a spot to get into with the camera.

I do have a question I should have asked at the beginning of this thread:
Does the camshaft cap sit on the head, then the valve cover goes on top of that?

If so the cam cap could very well be leaking along with the VC gasket. It's just very hard to tell.
