VCT Solenoid Leaking

I changed the vct solenoids about 3 weeks ago and started smelling a burning smell of oil today. Well, I popped the hood and noticed the each seal on the vct solenoids seem to be leaking oil. Do I need new seals? Anyone ever experience this?

i have not had to do that but the long and short is if they are leaking than yeah you will need new seals. make shure you pre-lube the new ones so they slide in place when you put them in
