If a shop installed them you need to take it back ASAP. There is some sort of seal that isnt tight or is broken

i just checked it again and the bolt that holds the cam sprocket has a small line/crack on it. the oil is coming out from the bolt. its really weird. i guess i have to go to the dealer and order the part as you can see in the pic there's a small puddle of oil on the bolt

They probably over tightened that bolt. I just did cams on my friends nine and there was not that much tq on it.

^ it is a 14mm and no it is not that hard to change if it was tq to the right setting. If it is too tight you will need someone else there to put a wrench on the crank pulley to keep the engine from turning over when you try to break the 14mm hex head loose. When you do get it broke free there will be some oil to come out so have a towel ready to wipe it up so it does not get all over your timing belt.
