Hi Idelle, it's nice to meet you.
First, if it's only seeping, then it's ok to let it go for now.
Second, get yourself a second opinion from another shop. While some extras are required like the oil pan gasket and so on, it's worth getting a second opinion.
I wouldn't do any work until it's actually leaking and leaving spots. Seepage is quite normal.

Yes, without a problem to be honest. Check the oil level a couple of times, but if it's not even dripping and leaving spots on the floor, this is nothing to be alarmed about at this time.

Exactly, I just think you should keep an eye out and if it gets worse then take care of it, otherwise no worries.
