It is VERY probable it is only the 'P' gasket leaking, it isn't actualy behind the timing cover but the housing adjacent to it, that bolts to the front of the block on the passenger side and supports the wate pump, alternator and power steering pump. There is an upgraded steel shim type gasket available now, described as a 'coolant bracket gasket' but most in the knoiw call it the 'P' gasket, short for Pistol as it is shaped similarly.
An easy enough job as long as the 3 long bolts aren't corroded into the cover...
Bundy, not sure who you could ask around there Redcliffe is a bit of a hike but MR automotive know their stuff.
Your usual mech could do it, it is pretty straight forward no touching timing belts or anything like that.
