I know that down here in the deep south US most shops will charge between $80.00 to $100.00hr and that is about a 10 hour job being you have to pull the transmission and flexplate to replace the one-piece rearmain seal. Now if it is just the oil pan gasket then your looking at around a 5 hour job.

My blazer started this morning but was leaking antifreeze on the ground. I don't think its the water pump. could it be the intake manafold gasket? it seems to be leaking at the front of the intake.

It would either be the intake gasket, thermostat housing gasket,upper hose at the thermostat housing,or the heater hose that enters the intake.

Oil leak in a 98 plymouth breeze 2.0

I've had a 1990 Acclaim, a 1990 Shadow, and a 1998 Breeze, all have a head gasket leak. The Breeze was the only one to have oil leak and it was on the rear of the engine. I'd guess that's your problem.
