Default Disco Oil Leak from Crank Case

My '02 Disco has had a small oil leak for a while but recently has become a large oil leak. It looks to be leaking from the front and rear crank case area. I called a dealer near me and the cost will be around $2200 to fix both. Is this normal or is that on the high side.

If anyone is local and wants to make some money, let me know. I am from South Central, MI.

Any other suggestions as to what it may be? It's leaking quite a bit now. Maybe a quart every 5 days or so.

Before you do anything, you need to spray the front and rear of the engine and the entire bottom, also the valve cover area with gunk engine degreaser, then power scrub the bottom first then the top and side so you can see where the actual oil leak is located. Don't just waste a lot of time and money having someone tear into it.

Thanks, I did that when it first started leaking but it has changed a lot since then (as in a lot more oil leaking). Thanks for the recommendation. I will do that again.
