It isn't uncommon for the cam seals to leak around that valve cover. Try using a tube of Form-A-Gasket and put a small bead around the whole cover. If that is a circular seal as I suspect and it isn't sealing up correctly then the problem is a worn cam shaft or the seal not being in place correctly.

Front seal on the timing cover? Maybe your leak is coming from another place? You might need to talk to another daewoo owner or find a forum for your car and research there. good luck.

The Dodge Dealer is saying the crank seal and cam seal are leaking when they went to change the oil, are these transmission seals or engine seals? do I need to place them or is there a product that will...

Crank seal could either be at the front or rear of the engine (there are two) Cam seal is at the front of the cylinder head. If the leaks are minor, a good product that may help is lucas conditioner and sealer. Larger leaks require an actual seal replacement. No sealer will work immediately. The reason most leak is because over time the seal hardens from heat. It takes a while to soften it up again.
If the leak is from the rear main seal, the transmission needs to be removed to get to it but neither seal is part of the transmission.

Oil leaking pretty bad near bottom{larger}belt pully on passenger side

Front Main Crankshaft seal leaking ---most likely ---now if it has the inspection cover on it
it can be from crank shaft --head gaskets or cam shaft seal --running down the front behind the cover
and some covers have a special oil seal in front of the cam ---this is a general answer
not the Lesabre specific --if you have the power train under warranty --I'd advise a vist to the dealer and pay the say 50buckish co pay ---but first get a closer and better look --can you remove the top or front of any of the cover ---that is not SILICONED in place --GM loves their silicone !
and see exactly where it is coming from ---if it's the front main crankshaft seal --?
Do I want to replace the front and rear seals together ?
Do I want to do the head gaskets as well --to include the intake
Do I sell the car and buy a toyota --lol ---Made you smile I Bet
Don't panic ---Identify the exact source --weigh the pro's and cons
you could try an off the shelf sealant for the oil and or a metallic or ceramic antifreeze
sealant additive too ----it WILL still need fixed but may get you around for awile --
NOTE for a leaking radiator core -if you ever put BArr's leak in a radiator to stop a radiator leak ---you Should then replace the radiator ---even if it stops the leak ---as it clogs your system and can clog your heater as well ---
Put in drive home or to a close garage then flush out the Barr's leak , replace the radiator then refill
for any parts I recommend rockauto.com ---alot cheaper than an autoparts store FOR most stuff
longest wait to my door 2 days --100%satified thus far BTW I'm a client not their friend or associate
and for used try harry'supullit.com --Hazelton pa ---best junk yard I know of and cheap --
Good Luck
