More than likely its just from the vario-cam tensioners in the cam housing.
I don't know how many shop hours -- but with the right tools it can be a DIY.
It can be done without removing the engine. Just pull the cam covers (after locking the camshafts)
and R&R the chain tensioners.
If it's from the IMS chain tensioner paddle, then it's a complete tear down... but
that is considerably less likely.
