At 213k, as long as I'm not making a mess everywhere I park, and having to add too much oil between changes, fixing oil leaks is pretty optional... $2300 pays for a lot of quarts of top-ups.
I've seen some discussion lately of the cam chain tensioner as a potential leak source if it looks like a leak at the right rear corner of the head, down the timing cover and behind the tensioner and crank pulley. Mine's got a leak there - not bad enough to drip but enough to look oily. I'll worry about it next time I need to pull the wheel well liner.
