Default Front seal - bad oil leak

Hey guys....99 XK8 is leaking bad from the front seal / timing cover. Any clue how many hours is called for this job? I've got oil everywhere underneath and it's getting on the exhaust, which fills the car with burning oil smells at every stop. Basically makes it un-driveable as a result. I was told it's a huge job, but am curious to know what it calls for. Thanks -

The insurance rate doc. I have lists timing cover R&R as 5.6 hours. I would think only an experienced Jag tech can do it in that amount of time.
