Default HeadGasket Help Needed

Hi, first time posting but I've heard so many different things about my issue that I don't know what to believe.

I have a 4 cyl 2007 Madza 6. I'm at 98,000 miles. I've recently had to have my thermostat and valve cover gasket replaced. When I picked up my car they also told me there was seepage at the headgasket and that I needed to keep an eye on that because it would have to be replaced eventually...

The Mazda dealership I was at gave me an estimate of 2100 to replace that. I called another mazda dealership and they told me that they have never replaced a headgasket and that I am better off getting a new engine or a new car. What?

And what does seepage even mean? They said it wasn't leaking yet but it was moist.

What should I do? How much should I be prepared to replace it? How much are new engines and how does that work?

I would get a 2nd opinion from another workshop ( not Mazda ) I've never heard of, or seen a Mazda 6 leak coolant from the head gasket.

Keep an eye on the coolant level in the overflow bottle.
