It appears that I have engine oil leaking from both the valve covers and the pan. How much of a job is it to replace these gaskets on this 3.8 engine? I am fairly handy under the hood and have some time available, but don't want to get in over my head.

The leaks are a pain. The rear valve cover and the oil pan are tough. In fact, chances are the engine will need to be lifted to remove the oil pan.

To have it done, you are most likely looking at about 6 hours labor and parts.
