Timing belt and cam seals 2013 S60 T5

Hello all,

I have a 2013 S60 2.5t fwd. 101,000 miles.
Got the dreaded whistling sound and checked the oil cap and immediately the cap was sucking air. Did not drive car and replaced the oil filter housing/pcv and fixed issue. I am however needing to due belt and cam seals as I have a feeling the seals are now causing an oil leak.
I have read that I don't need locking tool for belt and to just make sure I mark everything. Is there a tool needed for cam seals?
Also anyone recommend a kit that would take care of all my parts while I'm in there?

Thanks everyone for your replies.

Brad

The OP did post it in the correct forum for his/her oarticular year and model. However, when I saw it there I suggested they post it here as it involves a 2.5T and this forum gets waaaaay more participation. My bad.
