My 2011 with about 140,000 miles has developed an oil pump seal leak. The first quote I've gotten to fix it is about $1,800. The mechanic explained that he has to remove the timing belt assembly, which I assume means removing a bunch of other things.
Does this quote seem reasonable? I've done basic maintenance (fluid changes, brake pad replacements, and the like) but I don't think I have the skills or tools to tackle something like this myself.
The mechanic says the leak is small right now and it's not an urgent fix. Is this something I can live with? We plan to keep the van for as long as possible.
Thanks in advance!
