Default Car is back into the shop!

I am freaking annoyed right now, I got my car back last night from the bodyshop after my accident two weeks ago, and it looks great. BUT NOW the engine leaks oil about a quart an hour. I just had it towed into my local Honda dealership because that is where my insurance requires it be taken.... so no more car, I don't know what is wrong with it, dealer won't get to it for another week.

quart an hour eh? If it was in an accident is it possible that the oil pan was damaged? cam seal could have popped out? crank seal leaking? just a few ideas

I did, from the main crank pulley assembly area. I didn't feel like fixing it if insurance was going to pay for it and do it for free (of no cost to me anyway)

Needs a new cam shaft, and crank shaft seal, and also a new timing belt.

WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOO! Joy to the F**KING world... My heads are shot, my cam is shot, and tommorow I get to find out about my block! For what they want to charge me for a motor, I am more than likely going to go LS swap and get that built with the money left over. Loan office here I come, and built turboed LS 99 Civic EX here I come.
