Question about head gasket

Hello all,

I believe my head gasket is defunct and is beginning to leak. There is oil coming out just under the 22re sticker on my 4x4 22re 1992 DLX. I attempted uploading photos, the file size was to big though. I'm assuming it is the head gasket, is still near full, I think it just happened. What is the shop price generally for this? I have heard they have to re-surface the head? Thanks for any help.

Just below the sticker?
Not the HEAD GASKET. More like the VALVE COVER GASKET. $25 at the TOYOTA Dealership.

motor needs an entire rebuild. It's doomed.

valve cover seal... be happy you own a Toyota and not a Chevy, lol this is an easy fix, while youre in there you should check the valve clearances.. fyi
