The piece I had a problem with was part of the timing cover gasket- yours is leaking anyway. If you replace the timing cover gasket, it will be part of the job.

Sad part is- this is a small repair- parts are relatively inexpensive. The labor is the killer. I wouldn't consider this a major repair by any stretch.
