Default Help me diagnose an oil leak.... via video

Hi all,

My son is at college 3 hours away, and his '83 wagon has developed a serious oil leak. I'm hoping it's a valve cover gasket, but it may be a cam seal. Does this video tell you anything?

He mentioned that some of the valve cover bolts were loose and wouldn't tighten. But.... would you get this large of a leak from the valve cover?

Thanks.

Looks like a cam seal that blew out to me.
