If the faults were not there prior to timing belt / water pump , should have taken it back to whoever carried out the work .

If it's coming from the cam cover area it could be camshaft , crankshaft oil seals leaking .You will have to clean engine up and try to see where it's leaking from .

Run the engine with the air flow meter unplugged .If rough and clears when reconnected it's working o.k .If no difference when unplugged , knackered .
