Couple of questions

A while ago, I posted about oil leaks; I was told they were coming from the front main seal (worst leak), the valve cover (will do my own) and the cylinder head (not so bad). The indy shop gave me an estimate to do everything, including machining the head and looking at and possibly replacing the timing chain while everything is apart. They said for everything it would be in the neighborhood of $2,500 - $3,000.
I'm in no position (nor do I want) to put that much money into my car right now, and a few people posted that I was probably o.k. leaving the leaks for a while. My questions are: is that advisable, and does it make any sense to get these jobs done one at a time, if I do get them done?
Also, any tips for getting the voltage regulator out without removing the alternator would be MUCH appreciated. I tried an offset screwdriver and it was a no go.
