Speaking of vehicles...

I'm currently trying to keep an old '96 Toyota Camry on the road. It's got the 2.2 four-banger in it, but I seem to have developed an oil leak on the left-hand side (as you look into the engine compartment from the front) from somewhere down around the serpentine belt. I've been checking around the 'net and it seems this is a common-enough occurrence in these engines, especially in high-mileage vehicles (mine's got 280K on the clock), and appears to be coming from the oil pump housing O-ring and shaft seal.
Now replacing this myself is far more dicking around than I want to do, especially outdoors in this sort of weather (it's snowing — again — right now; even though spring is less than two weeks away according to the calendar, that bitch from "Frozen" is not giving up without a fight!). Does anyone want to either confirm or deny my initial diagnosis, and can anybody give me some idea about how much I'd be expected to pay to get this taken care of at a real garage?
