oil leak

I believe it is from the valve cover gasket. How much should I expect to pay for such. I have an R53 with 57k, & I don't plan to repair until the next oil change in 1k miles. Thanks in advance.

Normal price parts and labor is about $200

Since your in TN, feel free to come down to Atlanta we'll take good care of it.

I paid $150 at an indy shop. I doubt if you'll find it much cheaper than that unless you have a friend that owes you a favor and likes beer.

I sure wish WayMotorWorks had a shop in the Pacific Northwest!! I'd just sign over my paychecks to them and avoid messing with jackstands, ramps and cold concrete floors!!!
