Timing cover gasket going bad

[95camaroZNC]

So my car has been slowly leaking oil, about the size of a quarter on short drives and the size of a baseball on longer drives. I got told today that it would cost 500 dollars to have the gasket replaced by the shop ive been talking to that normally does all the work on my car. I was curious as to how long it would take me to do it myself and what is involved. I know the difficulty level is very high but im still very curious and interested.

Might still attempt it.

i believe i would rather do that than change the plug wires i had hard time on the wires. the opti for me was much easier.

Is it the whole cover or just the crank seal?

mines leakin in the same spot... was before last summer too... garage near me replace it for like $120... its doing it again so maybe its a bad fit, i dont know i also have the lt4 chain kit in therem but it wasnt that expensive!
