hi & welcome :y you would be better putting your help request in the general help section where more people will view it  :y
i suspect it will be your cam cover gaskets :-\ and can be done with the engine in

I'd be going to another garage if I was you. It's probably the cam cover gaskets which are leaking. Around 60 quid in bits and a couple of hours to do properly if you haven't done the job before
