so how much do you think?

It really depends on where the oil is leaking from.
Valve covers oil leaks or a leak from the oil pressure sending unit are the cheapest and easiest to fix.
Oil leaks from oil pan, front seals and cam seals are more expensive.
One of the more expensive seals would be the rear oil seal.
Just depends on where it's leaking from.

Oil Leak

A leak from valve covers are not bad expensive. The real question is, why is it leaking? If the gaskets are just old and breaking up, they need replacing. If your engine has blow by, causing pressure in the crankcase to force the oil out somewhere and the valve cover gaskets are the least resistant place, that brings on more questions. If you replace the gaskets with blow by present, it will just start leaking again either there or somewhere else.
The best thing is just go to 2 or 3 shops and get an estimate. Surely one of them will check for evidence of blow by and crankcase pressure.

Depends on where the leak is. The parts are relative inexpensive, but the labor to fix may not be. Take to a few shops for estimates.

it depends where the leak is and from what part. a worn out gasket is inexpensive to replace, a leak from engine-transmission or transmission-drive shafts it might be a bit more expensive. in any case, the labor might be up to 75% of the total cost (parts are usually less expensive).

Valve covers (depending on how accessable they are) should run about 50-80 bucks to replace the gaskets.
