The bill can be around any from $500- $1600 with an average bill of $1200.However, if it is a serious oil leak and there are stains on your driveway you will need to figure in the cost of either cleaning up the spill or, if the crack has been going for a long time, fixing or replacing your driveway.

But any good garage should be able to do this without too much trouble with all the required parts plus labor which can be between 8-12 hours depending on what needs replacement. The most common leaks that we see come from valve cover gaskets (that black rubber ring around each spark plug) and oil pans (l at the lowest part of car).
If your car has an automatic transmission, the oil pan is also the place where your transmission fluid is stored. So if you have a leak in that area, it could be indicative of a bigger problem with your transmission.

While some people might try to tackle this repair job on their own, it’s always best to go with a professional especially if there are any doubts about what exactly is causing the leak.

If you’re just looking to keep the oil leak from staining your driveway, then simply add some kitty litter around the area and let it absorb the spill. You can also try laying down a few pieces of newspaper to soak up the excess fluid.
If there is too much oil on your driveway, we recommend calling a local mobile mechanic since they will be able to help you extract and clean the area within no time at all and for a comparatively lower price than what you would pay if you had any major work done.

That’s why we recommend that you spend money getting something that hopefully will last year’s down to get another year out of it by not putting in new parts until its absolutely necessary like air filter (costs $15), spark plugs ($50) or brake pads ($100).
