NSL727

Just got my car back from the honda dealership and found out why a burning smell is coming from the engine of my car. The tech's told me that oil is leaking from a few spots on the engine and that I needed new gaskets installed. The gaskets they told me I needed to replace are: the oil pan/gasket, valve cover gaskets, rocker gaskets, and the oil filter gaskets. They told me it was going to cost about $940 to do the job but supplied me with a list of the necessary parts and it looks like the total part bill will come to around $330. I don't have much experience working with engines but would love to find a way to save myself a few hundred dollars if at all possible.

Has anyone else ran into this with their Honda Accord and been able to fix? If so, how hard was and/or did you happen to take pics for future reference?

Any advice/help is really appreciated.

Keep in mind this also a "Dealership Diagnosis"
I would start with a Valve cover gasket, this is $25 at your local AutoZone and replace that first. Chances are your leaking small ammounts of oil through your valve cover and it's leaking on to your head and manifold. Very common problem.
