losing water from reserviour, not running hot.. just replace transmission, thermostat, transmission, brakes, rotors, brake booster and master cylynder.. But losing water from reserviour.. Pressure tested at 16lbs of air, mech said i have a pinhole leak around the timing head. he suggested to take apart and fix. Also recommended to change the timing belt while it was taken apart.. I need to know is there a cheaper way to fix the leak? He stated labor would be $350 plus parts.. What is an estimate of repair costs for this.. Ive invested 4k in this car since April 2010..
Advice please!!!!

Not sure.. He just said around the timing head.. I also i had the waterpump replaced about 2yrs ago..
He said to make sure the water reserviour has the max line level at all times.. But when I check it daily, it is completely empty.. Its not running hot though..
