$2,421 to reseal front timing cover on a 2020 Chevy Malibu
I have a 2020 1.5T Chevy Malibu (112k miles) that developed an engine oil leak. The shop says they confirmed the leak is coming from the front timing cover, and that oil is actively dripping onto the alternator.
They're recommending replacing/resealing the front timing cover, and the estimate is $2,421. Unfortunately, I can't afford a $2,400 repair right now, so I'm trying to figure out my best option.
