Toyota Camry (1995) Oil Leak and Other Problems?

[ehulani822]

I need an answer from someone who does car repairs. I took my 1995 Toyota to a repair shop because of the oil leak. The bad news: "oil leak, timing belt and seal and valve cover or gasket" and the cost estimate is roughly $850. I don't know if this includes the labor but I need to know if this is a pretty accurate amount. Aside from this somewhat recent problem, this car runs really good, the mileage is at 113460 so it has definitely seen better days. But it was given to me, never had a note on it, I'm thinking it could run for another year or so, if I get the above problem fixed. Your thoughts please?
