TSI - Oil leak + Timing chain

I'm after some advice..

I've a 2018 TSI 204 DSG T28, 98k miles, full service history.

Oil leak - I noticed some small oil patches underneath, I think it could be from the front crank seal. From the pictures would you agree?

  1. Does the whole engine need to come out to replace seal?
  2. Roughly how much should I expect to pay for this?

Timing Chain - The van is on 98.5k miles and chain was checked and in tolerance a year/1500 miles ago. If I'm having the seal done, should I do the chain at the same time?

I'm Upminster, Essex based. Used VW Mad for service last year, any recommendations for garages welcomed.

Thanks
