Oil Leak on a 2.2 Options

[PHLCELICA]

I have an oil leak, giving out about a quart or so every 3 or 4 days. The leak seems to be coming from the rear of the engine closer to the passenger side. My mechanic changed the valve cover gasket and I still have this leak. The new assumption is the crank seal. The charge is 380 (which is what I paid for my motor swap).

Is the 2.2 known to leak from any other possible place besides the Valve cover and oil pan?

The real question is how hard is it to get to the crank seal on a 2.2 and am I being overcharged?

I trust my mechanic but I'm a bit skeptical on his price.

My bad for responding a bit late... Had a nasty Trojan and had to reformat.... Newayz.... I'm not to sure what it is but i'm just gonna go ahead and change all the seals because with gas at this price and a quart of oil every 2-5 days I feel like I have a V6.

But hey on another, the owner of the garage told me that at the 6gc meet in Philly. If any of yaw had any problems (Check Engine light, sounds from the car etc.) He would go ahead and have his mechanics give it a quick check and of course Check engine light diagnoses are free as well as any checks..... The shop has 4 lifts and is legit so no one think this is a street mechanic I've been talking about lately. LoL.....

Thanx for all the suggestions and all. What better place to get a good idea of where your problem is on your Celica than 6GC.
