Lexus Es350 Timing Cover Repair

[007es350]

1. Anyone had a timing cover leak* replacement yet on their 2007 ES350 or a recommendation for one?

Was it just to resolve a oil leak?

2. What about the Camshaft Gears making noise when the car first starts sometimes?

Kinda like a sticky lifter noise.

3. Also, finally... the Water pump and serpentine belts and tensioners?

*The timing cover was a TSB but I never was told about it.

Any advice or costs or discussion on this?

thanks

Just got #1 done on my car a couple of weeks ago. The bill ran around $4000 as they remove the engine for it. But they let me pay $250 ish to go ahead and put in the new water pump while they were in there.
