For the past couple of months i've had an oil leak(s) in my car. I put it off for a bit to try and save up to get it fixed, but now it's got so bad that i'm going to have to take it in for repair. It's making a total mess of our front drive.

Anyway, I'm going to try and find a garage tomorrow to book it in, its an 1997 Corsa Sport. I was just wondering if anyone knows how long it would take to fix, and what the price range would be.


Thanks

Depends where the leak is. If its been leaking could be low on oil and if its been running like that for a while, wont do the engine any good.

Might be cheap - rocker cover gaket, sump gasket, or expensive

My friend had a look at it a few weeks ago and said its the 'sump' and its coming from the gearbox aswell.
