97 Honda Accord leaking oil?

[joe]

I went to change the oil on my accord today and noticed quite a bit of oil on the underside of the car. I wiped it all off in hopes that my wife had ran through something. Got done changing the oil and pulled the car off the ramps and noticed alot of oil underneath (fresh, had just leaked out) maybe 1/4 quart. Pulled the car back up and looked, it looked like it was leaking around the oil pan. So, I took the car to a shop right up the road. He calls back and says the (I think this is the right term) oil pan gasket...I know it was a gasket....was leaking. He said the timing belt would have to be taken off, etc, etc, etc. and quoted me $815. I said I couldn't afford to have it done right now and he said , "ok, just watch the oil level" I asked it was OK to drive it, he said yes as long as I don't let the oil get low. I know an oil pan gasket is fixable at home and definately not an $800 job. Is there another gasket, somewhere around or in the timing belt, that he could be talking about? He has a pretty good rep around town so I don't think he's trying to screw people. I'm still driving it now. When I stop it leaks maybe a drop every 5-8 seconds. Won't drip for long, just a small puddle in the morning. Please, let me know what you guys think....thanks in advance
