I'm in SF but wouldnt mind driving upto Marin or to peninsuala/southbay/eastbay

All, Long time lurker but first time posting here. I have a '97 Outback with 131k on it and recently I noticed that it has been losing a lot of oil and there's a burning smell coming from the engine. I had it diagnosed by the dealer and it was found out that it was leaking from these areas: 1. Oil pump 2.valve cover gasket 3.seperator palte & 4. Headgasket The dealer gave me a quote of $3100 to have everything fixed. My question is: should i have it checked by someone else to get a 2nd opinion(cost me $75 for the diagnosis btw..) and any recommendation for mechanics in the bay area? Thanks!
