So we got home from work today, and parked in the center of the driveway since the stang is in the garage, and I noticed where the Camry (and Ryan, when he comes over) normally parks, there were a couple small oil spots, so we came inside, then after maybe 30 mins. - 1 hr. I went back outside, and looked underneath the car, and saw two small spots had appeared in the spot we parked in, so it is obviously the Camry. We then went to get an oil change, and on the papers they gave us back, the technician had written "oil pan gasket & valve cover gasket leaking. suggest alig." I know the gaskets themselves aren't expensive, but anyone know how much that would run to fix?

yeah, its like an hour labor for the valve cover and like 2 for the oil pan..the oil pan is just sealant..ill get a price for the valve cover gasket later tonight when it slows down.
