VVT Solenoid seals

RJV

Caught the Bug
Getting ready to do spark plugs (second attempt lol) on my 3.6, noticed a little weeping on the passenger side VVT seal, not a full on leak/drip but must have some thing there as dirt sticks. Worth replacing or is that just how they are? Did some research and found people with nearly new ones reporting the same thing. Is it just as easy as unbolting the solenoid and swapping out the seal? Do both sides? Thanks!
 
yes

don't tighten the bolts too much, you'll crack the plastic sensor or strip the aluminum
