Oil Leak Service FAQ
1) Is it safe to drive with an oil leak?
Short distances may be okay for minor seepage, but running low on oil can damage your engine quickly. We recommend an inspection as soon as you notice a leak.
2) How do you find the exact source of the leak?
We combine a visual inspection, UV dye & light, and pressure testing. Cleaning the area lets us verify the active source—not just the area where oil collects.
3) What does an oil leak repair typically cost?
Costs vary by location and severity. A valve cover gasket is often a moderate repair; timing cover or rear main seal jobs are more involved. We provide a written estimate before work begins.
4) Can the wrong oil cause leaks?
Using incorrect viscosity or low-quality oil can worsen seepage. We use oils that meet or exceed manufacturer specs for your engine.
5) Do you work on European and performance vehicles?
Absolutely. We service BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, VW, Subaru, Honda, Toyota, Ford, Dodge, GM and more—all makes and models including turbo and performance builds.
