I'd be inclined to get the cam covers done ASAP.

If you don't feel up to it yourself, PM Darth Loo-knee who replied above for a quote - he does a lot of work on Omegas, and isn't too far from you (if my geography is OK )

Well he's not that  far, I would say 60 mins away down the mway.

No, not a huge job.  As above, Darth Loo-knee will do the job better and cheaper than a garage, and give you an honest opinion about anything else you should consider for the future. 

Many garages would not bother to clean the breathers (the root cause of this problem) and quite possibly lie to you and say they have. 

From what you say, is sounds as if your 1-3-5 cam cover gasket has decided to be different and fail at the front.  So who knows, the oil may somehow have found its way down the front of the engine, leading to an incorrect diagnosis of crankshaft seal failure.
