Default Another CEL, Check VSC, Traction Control Thread

Welp this unfortunately started today after my alternator got replaced!
I have seen previous threads and will be going the cheaper routes first, Gas Cap replacement, and also the Maf to get cleaned again which I did recently... maybe I broke it?
Who knows but I can say that it all started after I hit redline and once I slowed down those three lights popped up, the Cel is a solid light and its not blinking luckily, car has 130k miles on OG plugs which will be changed soon.
I will go and get the codes pulled and will update here, hopefully its an easy fix. Also while I was looking in the engine bay the only thing I noticed was some sort of oil buildup on the drivers side of the engine and when looking at the passenger side its clean.
Let me know of what others have done for this issue, thank you very much!

2 codes
P0345 and P0348 and a P0348 Pending
What do they mean?
I did have the alternator replaced yesterday so maybe something was unplugged? I got all these lights during driving though.... and I did drive it for awhile before the lights came on.

Since you could have possibly damaged one. I would check the wiring for the cam sensors Bank 2. A possibility one wire is slightly pulled, or damaged while changing the alternator.

Do a search for Banjo Bolt Leaking. Most can be fixed by cleaning the area, loosen the bolt, snug it tight and torque to spec. Others replace the crush washers and torque to spec.

Thanks Mike. Mobile by day, tired at night. Mobile search sucks. The window disappears as soon as you start to type. But you can paste into it and search that way.
The other option is the external search engine...
"site:clublexus.com 2IS banjo bolt" or whatever one is looking for.

Huh well an oil leak could be the problem that causes these codes to come up?
I did notice some oil residue all around the drivers side amd its around the valve gasket I believe..... I can take some pictures later today.
