First you need to find out where the oil is leaking from it could be many things from a oil senser to a gasket etc then once you find where the oil is leaking from then you can find out how much it cost to fix it because it can leak from so many areas it really depends on where it is as to what it will cost to repair it because it could cost anywhere from 5 - 10 to 100 and up but until you know the source of the leak there is really no way to answer the question wisely
you,ll have to clean the engine off before you can find out where its leaking from,then ask about a repair on it ,right now there's a lot of places that it could be leaking from,clean it off and run it long enough to see where its coming from on it,good luck.
it could also be the valve cover about 15 dollars a side plus abou an hour in the shop unless you have the book on the car and tools or a friend whose handy, or it could be a seal front or back or worse take it to autozone for a free code check and ask them guys about this an older car can drool oil or fluids and if you check them every week go on for years its bad for the earth but cheaper than some repairs also try this go to a regular top garage with good mechanics and ask for a free safty checkj things like the brakes and fluids and wheels and so on now as they are reporting the problems and the estimates to fix it all there ask about the oil leak then say I ll be back about the repairs then ask an older adult relative about the best places to go as they know the bargains and the foolish non bargains from time and experiance
It's leaking because the seals or gaskets are worn out or something is loose. Where the leak is will determine the cost to repair it. I cannot do better than that with the little info. It's leaking because it still has oil in it. Is there any place you don't see oil smeared? Above that, there's no leak.
Step 1..determine where the oils leaking from. 2.. figure out the price for the repair to stop the leak. 3.. if it is cheaper to fix it than to buy another car go buy the part which is hopefully just a gasket or two and fix it.
About 30 different places it could be leaking from. Some are simple 20 dollar repairs some are several hundred dollar repairs.
you can get a leak detection kit for less than $20 at autozone type places. Oil additive and uv light to find the leak. then get a haynes guide or similar and replace the faulty gasket. good luck!
You gotta find out where its leaking hopefully its just a valve cover or pan gasket and not the seals around ur tranny and engine. Ford made really cheap paper gaskets for the valve covers of a 85 Marq..
Harley Guy is right you are not giving a person much information to work with. Would be nice to know where it is coming from.
It depends on where the oil is leaking. ? not enough information.
It could be a hole in the oil pan, or a leaky seal somewhere. Can't really tell from here.
ya, bring it to a garage now, before it breaks more and costs 10 times more to fix.
fix the oil pan. should be way less than $100 to do if yuo do it on yourself.
need a new gasket around oil pan..or someone either stripped the bolt when oil change.
