The car has about 115k on it and runs great, I recently had the clutch replaced and want to keep the car for a while longer for that reason. The oil leaks are getting to be a problem, I'm having to top it up every week or so. The leaks appear to be the typical, oil feed-line and oil filter housing gasket.

Can anyone suggest an independent mechanic in the Toronto area and the approximate cost of this repair? Would this also be a good time to replace the timing chain?

 

That's very easy to do yourself the oil filter housing gaskets engine side and the outer most.
The oil line you have to remove the heat shield and downpipe. If you put the front end in service
mode you can do it very quickly. It's not a all day process to get it done.
