X5M diagnostic issues

So my 2011 X5M has been showing all the classic signs of bad injectors - soot on the rear bumper, CEL and limp mode with increasing regularity, reduced fuel economy, etc.

It's at the dealer for diagnosis today, and they say of the 21 faults stored, none related to the injectors. Instead, they tell me 3 things are going on - It needs new intake camshaft sensors, new spark plugs, and new valve cover gaskets, as they are both leaking oil.

Does this make sense to anyone more mechanically inclined than me? Does this explain the symptoms I have been experiencing?
