2018 Q5 - Repair Cost Review

2018 Q5 .

Hi All. We recently were away for about 10 days, didn't drive the Q5. Came home and noticed an oil spot under the car. Started noticing smaller oil spots every day. Had to add about 1 quart of oil over the next month. Took it to the dealership, who initially said it was a leaking oil drain plug $280. They included photos that showed the oil about 4 inches *above* the drain plug, which to me made no sense. Oil doesn't leak, *up* does it? This was Saturday. They said they were going to have another 'master' technician look over it. This morning they sent a new estimate saying "Engine Oil Pan Gasket is Leaking, Upper Engine Cover gasket is leaking due to faulty crankcase vent valve. " Estimate for that is $3299.99

Is $3,299 reasonable for those two gasket replacements? Thanks for looking!
