I am running into this exact issue with my '06. Had the shop replace the cam seals with a TB service, but after getting it back, the oil leak from the area was worse. They took it back and put a master tech on it and discovered grooves in the actuator surface that they claim were from the...

Oh, and if you loosen the fan shroud and remove the skid plate under the engine, you can get the alternator out and replaced through the bottom of the engine compartment.
