The valve cover
gaskets can be a large job on this vehicle and could cost you $450-490
depending on the labor rate in your area. I would quote 5.5 hours; the rear main seal could be about the same, maybe $100 more in labor time.
I would expect an engine with this mileage to leak some oil... not drip, but seep oil on the hot engine and produce a smell or smoke. Make sure the PCV system is
working correctly, use thicker weight engine oil like 50 weight Castrol
and use an over the counter oil additive like Engine Restore, which you
can buy at your local auto parts store.
Hope this helps (remember to rating this answer and leave some testimonial comment).
