When you change the timing belt do you have to change the cam seals?

i have a 1997 dodge intrepid 3.5 engine v6 and i have been having some problems first the check engine light came on had it checked at auto zone and it said o2 sensors so now i have had all 4 o2 sensors changed and i noticed that oil was leaking lightly when the mechanic was changing the sensors and he told me that it was the cam seals! but he changed the timing belt in march so i wanted to know if he was supposed to change the cam seals also? He also told me that i have a bad cradle mount! what is that?

it's a good idea to change the seals while the belt is off and they are exposed, but it is not a must do type of thing
