Ok since the issue is not 'pending failure' just seeping gaskets VS hose about to burst etc I will be bringing it home and replace the valley pan gasket as that is leaking the most and replace the front timing chain cover later. I'll keep an eye on the oil drip (very slow, usually doesn't even drip over night, just coolant) and tackle that down the road.

Does that sound like a good plan to you guys? I should be able to replace the intake/valley pan gaskets for under $100 + my time and stop the leak, right?

I have an 04 RR-HSE and today was the 1st time in a year that I own this truck that I went to the dealer for a cat warranty which is 200 miles over the warranty. They quoted me just to diagnose it 2 hrs @ $140.00. A few weeks ago I had the fuel pump changed by my trustworthy mechanic for $240.00 parts not included, I sourced the part at half the price of the dealer and saved lots of $$.
I suggest that if you love your truck and it seems you do, that you bite the bullet and DIY or get a trustworthy mechanic that is not going to rape you as LR will $5000.00 are you kidding me? I changed the valley gasket on my AC Cobra 427 side oiler in less than 4 hrs and paid $50.00 for parts.
LR is not making money in selling cars but in servicing cars. You know that they know that if you can afford a RR you can afford the cost of repairs, but that is armed robbery.
I hope that you keep your truck.

Yes it is, what you should do is source the parts on your own. Many times depending on the part I would stay with OEM, but many times you can buy good replacements vs OEM. I don't know if you have a service manual but if you need any pictures or procedures let me know I have a CD with the Service manuals and are very clear and useful for the DIY.
