So per the diagram in that link, it's the "PULLEY, CAMSHAFT TIMING"?

Is that correct? Just asking because I think I have a leak in the VVTI gear also. I was also going to replace the cam seals. What else should I replace since I'm already in there?

Yes it is the vvt cam gear intake part number 13050-46010.
You should also replace the valve cover gasket.
do not forget to silicone the cam caps as per FSM. I use ultra-grey or Toyota fipg...
Good luck
