Also, when I got it back, it developed a noise that sounds like a common-rail diesel. So I had to take it back and they tore down the right hand side valve cover, removed the cam and set the pretension on the cam. This of course they had to do for free since it was there mistake. So far so good.....

What they're calling the "timing gear cover" is actually a cam bearing cap. Now it makes sense why your repair bill was so high to reseal it because it involves removing the timing belt and camshafts. However, it sounds like you may have had some unnecessary repairs done due to an incompetent tech working on your vehicle since they did not properly install the set screw in the exhaust cam gear while removing and installing the cams. I would also question if the cam bearing cap was leaking at all to begin with. It's sealed with FIPG (RTV) from the factory so it's unlikely that it would leak without being disturbed.
