Default Cam Seals vs. Valve Covers

What is the difference between Cam Seals and Valve Covers or are they the same things? I have leaking/seeping Valve Covers and have ordered the parts to take care of those.

Intake Gasket: 11213-46020
Exhaust Gasket: 11214-46011

I also have the FIPG to take care of the Packing Seals.

Now where are the cam seals located?

Alright, let's see if I can answer my own question;

The cam seals are the two oil seals (kinda like o-rings) on the front/grill side of the engine just behind the Camshaft Timing Pulleys and the No. 4 Timing Belt Cover?

Valve cover gaskets seal the valve covers, haha kinda self explanatory, dunno how to explain that any better.

The cam seals, like you said, are behind the cam gears at the front of the camshafts, behind the timing cover.
