How much for repairing oil leak ?

Oil can leak from a variety of different places. Your question is too vague to provide a definative answer.


Some vehicles have a propensity for a certain type of oil leak. So if you identified the vehicle, that would help answer your question. For example, there are thousands of GM V6 engines that leak badly from the oil pump seal. This particular seal can be replaced in about an hour by an experienced mechanic. So that repair would cost around $100.


You have two basic choices:


1. Take your car to a trusted mechanic and pay him whatever he asks for fixing the leak.


2. Do some research to determine where the oil is coming from. This is very helpful if you don't know a mechanic you can trust. The best way to locate an oil leak is to start with a clean engine. Take your car to one of those quarter car washes (these days you will need at least 8 quarters). Many of these places have an engine degreaser setting on the soap dispenser. Give the engine a thorough washing. Be careful to avoid air intakes and electrical connections. Drive back home and place some paper or cardboard under the front end of the car. This will give you an idea of when the leak is coming from, but remember that oil not only flows downhill but is also carried by wind currents underneathj the hood.


Get out a bright flashlight and a mirror. Examine the motor for traces of oil. If there is a leak, sooner or later your will find the trail.


When you locate the source, you can either repair the leak yourself, or take it to a mechanic, point at the leak and tell him ';Fix this';.


When YOU pinpoint the leak, you benefit because:


1. You can tell the mechanic what to fix.


2. When he is done, you can inspect the work to make sure it was done right.How much for repairing oil leak ?
it actually depends on what vehicle it's coming from, not where. No matter where it's coming from, you have a bad seal somewhere and it'll cost you plenty unless it's just the oil pan seal (but even those can be a nightmare depending on the car!) . Better hopeto god it's not a Chevy Blazer or GMC Jimmy. You have to remove the engine and possibly the transmission to get to the gasket, but on most cars, it drops right out and can be replaced i about 2 hours or less. Take it to a shop and pay someone to fix it. Trust me, you'll be glad you did!How much for repairing oil leak ?
Start small by buying Stop oil leak for now, you put it where you put oil and it is effective ...,you can get it in any auto store, clean where you see the leak and leave it , .run it like you do regularly and observed . If it is still doing it, Park where there is NO oil blotters so you can see if it is still leaking ,to repair it will run you a lot of $$$$$$ .


It is usually the HEAD GASKET but like I said ; start small.


hope it works.
That really depends where the oil is leaking from.
