Well today i took off my valve cover to replace the gasket. While i had the valve cover off, i turned the motor over, by trying to start it. I only saw oil flow out of two spots. The back left (near the cam gear) and the front right. Should it be flowing out in more spots, i thought it was supposed to flow out of the front left, too. I need help asap, i should fix this problem if that is it.

Hard to tell sometimes. Your oil pressure is low when its not running. It sometimes will not turn off the oil light. Be careful to not get oil in the spark plug holes. Also I did mine and it still leaked. Turned out the grommets are wore our and my bolts bottomed out. An easy check is to push down on the cover and see if you can push it down after torquing it.

it should be flowing out of the cam journals but like I said you may not see it because you have such low oil pressure because of the low speed and worn pump.

the oil pump is brand new. also would where you put the anaerobic sealer on the two end caps affect anything? is there any flo of oil there? might I have put too much anaerobic sealer there?

You're looking for a boogie-man where there isn't one.
Oil flows through passages in the head directly to the cam journals and lash adjusters. As this is the last place the oil reaches, unless you were cranking for a significant amount of time, you're not going to see much of anything. There are no visible holes that spray oil onto the cams.

OP, they're all wrong. Go ahead and start it up with the valve cover off. Maybe you'll be able to see some oil then. I'm thinking you will want to post a vid so we can see the results
Alright, just kidding. Don't do that; mess will ensue
