Timming chain cover gasket, you can do yourself, It's super simple. How much is he charging you, if you do it yourself, it'll cost you around 12 dollars and about 45 min. doing it.

your front cover's gasket is just RTV. You can get the permatex red for 7 bucks. It'll be more than 45 minutes because you'll also need to drop the oil pan to pull the front cover to make sure you get a good seal. At that point, you might want to consider just doing a full timing chain job, you're already half way there.

also note that if you are a super novice to engines you want to stay away from this.
