To insure the problem doesn't reoccur tap the end of the camshaft & seal with a pipe plug. I believe 3/8" pipe thread is best. This requires the camshafts be removed from the head. I'm sure the varioCam wear pads need replacing anyway. We're talking $50 parts but $800+ labor & maybe + tools cost also.
