98 Forester (248,000 m) is leaking oil profusely. Someone looked under car in parking lot and said it was Front Timing Cover Leak, the seals behind it and the oil filter o-ring. DOES THIS SOUND RIGHT? How much should this cost?

I also need the 250,000 maintenance done.

Car has had oil change every 3,000 miles and all mileage maintenance's performed to date.

THANK YOU!!!

  

"Leaking profusely"?

I would first check the oil filter. Is it screwed on tight? Is it leaking through the seal?

If it's not the filter, then I would suspect the crankshaft seal. These tend to leak oil, which then drips out at the bottom of the timing-belt cover.

Could also be the oil-pressure sending unit, located on top of the block.

Camshaft seals can leak substantial amounts of oil into the timing belt area - my 98 2.5L Outback blew one.

If SOHC there are also O-rings sealing the "camshaft supports" to the head - maybe 1/16" thick X 2" OD - which can make slow leaks.
