Oil pump gasket.
Now that I have to dig around the front of my car to fix my power steering hoses (hopefully that's all), I'm thinking of replacing my oil pump's gasket (and perhaps the pump too). Is it readily accessable, or is it buried away in the engine bay? Are there any "Oil Pump Gasket for Dummies" guides out there? Thanks.

 You mean pulling your timing belt cover, and idlers, etc.??

Personally, I would save that job for when you replace the timing belt. That's kind of a hefty job just to do the gasket alone.

  It's a pretty cheap part (~$5), but the process of replacing it is very involved! -Chike

Good luck finding one around here. If it was me I'd hit one of the north carolina dealers near asheville/hendersonville area. Check nasioc.com southeast region for some locals up there who know good shops.
That repair isn't all that difficult really - as long as the crank sprocket comes off easy and you have tools to get the cam sprockets off the rest is a breeze.
