The tensioner is on the very front of the cylinder head, well-hidden by the AC compressor and its bracket. In fact, there is a hole in the bracket for access. You will need to remove the compressor. There is a plug that covers the actual tensioner which requires a 17mm hex key to remove. There is an o-ring that seals the plug to the head, and my bet is that is what is leaking.

The cam box is a pain because you need to remove the cam sprockets, rocker arms, guide rail, and the tensioner to get it off the head. And it's heavy! I can't think of any reason why it would leak unless the bolts holding it to the head are not tight.
