They said the parts are only about 40$ and there is 5.4 hours of labor on the seal replacement. Im trying to find a repair estimator that includes this and I dont see it listed as a common repair on repairpal.com

Anybody else seen this? grrr..
Oil filter housing gasket failure is fairly common. Take it to a good indy and save yourself a tonnnn of money.
