Are you sure the cam plugs aren’t leaking? On my 06 E350 wagon, I had an oil leak in that same area and it was the cam plugs. There are 3 I think; a small one and a large one on the driver’s side, and another smaller one on the passenger side. There is a centrifuge cover on the passenger side that leaks as well. These are easy to replace. And I think there is a write up on this forum. Just FYI I originally bought aftermarket parts (Baptic or something of the sort). The centrifuge cover was fine, but the plugs leaked again soon after they were installed. I went to the dealer and got the Mercedes branded plugs and I’ve been good for 2+ years. I can look up the part no. for what I purchased at the dealer if you think this may be your problem...
