2004 3.2 3 chain motor with cam actuator leak

[DonQ]

Noticed a slight leak that appears to be coming from the RH cam actuator.

Am I correct that this can be removed without and danger to cam timing?

I’d like to seal it up but I don’t want to remove it if I need to lock the cams or anything.

With the Variocam + system, not having the slipper type guide rails that adjust timing, I would think it would be safe.

Anyone done this job or any advice?

If I interpret that correctly, the actuater should only be removed when in vertical position. With engine in the car this would be impossible.

It says right at the top 'Engine removed' so yeah...
