You only have one cam seal - its the plug on the left side, front
(If you mean oil seals, theyre on the right, at the cam gears)

For the cam seal, just pop off the valve cover, remove the 1 cam cap holding it down, remove the seal, replace seal and cap (check your tq), put the valve cover back on.
Easy :)
