Hi Dermot,

It's impossible for us to know where the oil leak is coming from, I'm afraid, and that will massively affect the cost of the repair. It could just be from the cover, or a camshaft oil seal, both relatively small jobs, or from a damaged head gasket, which is considerably more work.

If the leak is substantial, you really should bring the car to a good mechanic for an estimate and to help you pinpoint the source.

Best of luck
