Labor is always steep from the dealership. Do you know exactly where the leak is coming from? If it's the valve cover, you are getting fed your own *** on a silver platter they sold you (for three times it's value) along with the add-on warranty. Come to think of it, same with it being a leak at the front crank seal or upper timing chain cover. All of those are pretty easy jobs that yourself or a reggelar old mechanic could do. I haven't taken off the lower timing chain cover, so couldn't tell you about that.
Find out for sure where the leak is and let us know if you are interested in fixing it yourself (if you have the mechanical ability). You can find information on removing the upper timing chain cover if you search for "timing chain" and poke around a bit.
