Q: Ok I bought this car like 3 days ago for 800 bucks. Realized it's leaking oil, how much would that cost to fix? Everything else works/sounds fine... oh except this question I had yesterday which was never answered...if you know what that light means would also be a big help :) http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ai9B8asVRpgMvdLWhdmv6Kzsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080811105101AAYncNp
A: it really depends on where the leak is and how much the gasket is or hose. it might be something simple like a valve cover leak. take about 30 minutes to do and the gasket would be 20 bucks or so. or it could be a front main seal. could be a head gasket. that could run you 60 for a metal head gasket and over 500 for labor. you didnt give enought time to answer your other question. it could be your oil pressure light coming on because of your oil leak. to find the leak: clean engine bay with a carb cleaner and do not get the battery terminals, coil packs and plugs wet. put a dye kit for you oil in it to see where the oil is coming out at. the dye kit will have some glasses and a light that you use to look for the dye coming out in the engine somewhere.
