 :D That is great news , if you take it steady & just follow the manual you can't go wrong. Have a half decent tool kit if you have not already got one. Also a torque wrench , I use a 3/8" drive on most engine parts, is a must as if you are a learner then it takes the doubt away about how tight you should do things. If you do have a problem or question then there are loads of guys here that will chip in  [-/

Amongst all of this I would have thought the first thing to do is locate the source of the oil leak and work from there. I see all the logical places have been mentioned so find out where it's coming from and then panic about the cost.
