Does anyone know if oil leaking in your motor is something hard to get fixed?

I just noticed oil leaking out somewhere on my motor, I have to take it to get it looked at. Do you think this would be very costly to get fixed?Does anyone know if oil leaking in your motor is something hard to get fixed?
It depends on what the cause is - mine was a seal so it was not expensive so have someone check it out first to let you know what it is before you agree to pay for anything. If you go to the dealer, you will pay much more though just because it is a dealer so ask a friend or family about any reliable mechanics that they know.Does anyone know if oil leaking in your motor is something hard to get fixed?
It's just a gasket that's worn. Compare prices if you don't know anyone who could do it for you for free. (relative or friend).
it all depened where the oil leak is at. if it leak by the oil pan the it is easy. but some where else it might be little bit hard or harder
Depends on where it is leaking from(which gasket) and what the make and model is of the car
Depends on where its coming from. If its a head gasket, no biggy. But you first have to find the source.
I've had a couple of oil leaking cars. I think it's just as easy and cheap to check and refill often.
It depends upon where the leak is located. Oil leak from the engine, or transmission fluid from the transmission, Assuming it has an Automatic Transmission. If the leak is coming from the front of the engine, the front seal may need replacing. It depends upon the engine, as to the difficulty in replacement. If it is coming from the rear of the engine, same thing, only easier to replace if the bottom part is leaking.





It makes a big difference what type of engine, 4cyl. 6 cyl or 8 cly. You must inspect the engine and determine the source of the leak.





Mechanical work is not cheap these days, but stay away from dealers. They will be busy telling you all the things that need fixing whether they are important or not.





maybe someone you know has some knowledge about cars. Ask around and you may be surprised.
It all depends where it is coming from. I hope for you its minor fix
Could be.





Some leaks are expensive it is a main cranshaft or cam seal. Rear seals require removal of engine and/or transmission.





It could be the oil pressure sending unit, which would be cheap.





You need have it cleaned to see where the new oil is leaking from.
it may be leaking from the oil drain hole. When the oil is changed by your garage they are supposed to replace the metal gasket but may not have done. There is a bolt on it's own, about half an inch across, which when removed, lets all the oil out. A new gasket for this is just a few pennies, make sure it is replaced at the next oil change.





The other place is around the oil filter. This is a canister a bit bigger than a can of beans and usually a bright colour, orange or blue. In your engine compartment, low down. You could try to tighten it, just by hand, clockwise.
This would depend on the age / make of vehicle.


If it is leaking out the sump, or from the head, the gaskets will need to be replaced.


Check the oil to insure the oil has no water in it - in which case it could be the 'head gasket' and will need to be replaced.
need more information about the car and type of oil leaking ..
