The camshaft oilseal is a push fit type, so you should be able to find it by touch and remove it with a long handled flat-bladed screwdriver.

But the back of the engine cover needs replacing -- foams just drenched in oil

Not the top cover the rear engine cover

Hi swampey...you can steamclean,jetwash the bulkhead foam cover. This will remove 90% of the oil,make sure you use a good detergent.
