Yes. $400-500 labor at a competent independent shop.

Default TJ - where was your oil leak coming from?
I just took similar photos this weekend. Mine might be a combo of RMS, upper oil pan, and maybe lower oil pan too.

Have you had your TB done yet? Maybe you might as well do that to save on future labor.
