There Is a Front Cam Cover that can be resealed. That is sealed to the cylinder head ...It May look like a oil leak from the front cam cover area ..Labor is 3.0
If the Head gaskit is leaking the labor is 9.0 And Includes the front cam cover reseal..The Head leaks at the R/F and The R/R corners...
I Would Clean it Very good to see where the leak is !
