Wow, I hope it's under warranty!
Sounds like they will be pulling that cylinder head and either replacing the seals or possibly the whole head. I'm not sure there's really anything else that should be done besides new spark plugs. You will end up with a fresh oil change and coolant change as part of the work if they have to pull the head. Upon reassembly it might be a good idea to have the turbo coolant hoses replaced rather than reused.
