I am not clear on the work to replace these 0-rings and the actuator. Is this something a competent shop can do with the engine in the car? Is this a $3k repair or $6k?

Just to make sure your actuator is failing, I would still pull the the filter and cut it apart to see if you have similar green rubber debris to that of shown in several threads in this forum. I believe the replacement can be done with the engine in the car, it`s difficult though because of the limited room. It`s quite straigthtforward with the engine out of the car on a stand if you have the right tools. No clue how much the labor costs, the actuator unit is around $1000 new.
