Oil leak repair?
So I've been noticing a small oil leak from my C5 and smoke coming from under passenger side of hood after arriving at work in the morning (20 min ride). Went to get my oil changed and the guys said car was leaking from the following:
Transmission Cooler lines (Front)
Intake Manifold
Rear Main Seal
Crankshaft Seal
Valve Covers (Bank 1 & 2)
Oil Pan Gasket
How much should I expect to pay to repair the stated diagnosis? Would a rebuild cover these issues? Thanks

Yes - clean it up and monitor. If a valve cover is leaking, it can run down and look like a lot of other leaks. They obviously don't understand the intake is not wet so you might want to think twice about letting them wrench on it.
Trans cooler lines shouldn't be a big deal - I would imagine they're weeping rather than running fluid. But that's just a hunch.
