a few people have done this themselves, do a search on here.

prob about £100-£150 worth of parts and labour i would guess at a specialist place.

hope that helps.

and yes it is quite a common issue!

Could be the rocker cover or the camshaft oil seal, both are prone to go. The camshaft oil seal is cheap enough to but, but you need the cams out to change it so it's a pig of a job. If you can live with it, then I would until your cambelt is due then get it done. If it is the rocker cover, nearside is easy enough to do, but the drivers side is a bit tight because of the turbo, downpipe, etc
