Default Timing cover/front seal oil leak

Have a small oil leak at the bottom of the timing cover. Prob front crank seal. Since it has to be fixed, I would like to replace the timing cover (had to have the lower tstat bolt drilled out and it didn't turn out well).

Some one posted on here that They bought the front cover and water pump for $200 or so but I can't find the post to ask where it came from. Dealer wants ~$475 and change for the cover and water pump.

May just keep pouring oil in it till it gets bad or I save up enough to do HO cams and timing chains and all that.

Thanks

David

p.s. 4.7 with auto
