Valley pan gasket?

If you were taking the trouble to replace the gasket, and, or, o-rings in the pipes, ( water leak ), what else would you sort out or replace whilst you had it all apart.

All of the hard to access small water pipes at the rear of the engine.

OK, what sort of costs are we looking at then, gaskets pipes o-rings etc etc
Are these all main dealer genuine bmw parts or would aftermarket parts be as good
Time wise, how long should this take, approximately of course
