Not sure what they mean timing gasket. The 3.4 uses a cartridge pump and is sealed with an O'ring.

Timing chain is enclosed and coolant should not be leaking anywhere near it.

Have them give you the specific part name.

In any case they should have fixed it the first time, I would tell them to fix it on their dime.
