How does my camshaft look... Swapping my valley cover gasket, figured I'd post a picture of my camshaft as it looks like it has some wear to it. But after 139,000 miles, I expected this. Anyways how does it look? Normal for this mileage? Maybe swap in the near future?

Off topic from my original post but I don't feel like cluttering any other sections with a new thread, plus I wanted to bump this back up for further input on my cam condition. Anyways, recently I developed a slight oil leak (couple drops) only at startup. So while I had my intake manifold off for an LS6 swap, I decided to swap out my valley cover gasket since it's right there. Naturally I broke my OPSU as well so it was replaced. Well after startup I still have the same small leak. I figured it was probably the valley cover gasket because of the picture attached. PCV hose was replaced as well as mine broke. I replaced my valve cover gaskets also since I had the coils off for plugs and wires. Does anyone know anywhere else the leak could be coming from?

Yeah, I'm hoping it's not the cam sensor because I wasn't aware there is a simple seal to replace. Everything is back together now so it'd really suck if it was it. I got degreaser and UV dye to finally find the source of it.
Any other input/opinions on the cam condition?
Thanks
