Cam Position sensor grommets on the valve covers get old and dry and will leak a little oil.

I had a crack in the valve cover at the Position sensor hole that was about1" long, I fix it with super glue.

I would get a second opinion at an owner-operator repair shop, stay away from dealers, and corporation run shops.
