When this seal fails ultimately camshaft deviations will occur as the adjuster will no longer function. Its not catastrophic, but when it goes long enough it will set a CEL and account for crappy gas mileage.
Thanks Jake, I hope that this is all it is. The cam deviation has not changed in the 18000miles and does not change through out the rev range. What is odd is that one bank is 6.5 and the other is 1.4. I have always wondered about it.
