How much does it cost to fix a car oil leak?

Last week I backed out of my driveway and I noticed a dark puddle where my car was parked. I could also smell burning oil. I only have collision coverage and will have to pay repair costs out of pocket. How much does it cost to fix a car oil leak?

engine failure
if left untreated. It can cost anywhere from $150 to $1,200 to fix an oil leak. Here are the factors that cause the wide range of repair costs:
  • Location of the leak
  • Cause of the leak
  • Type of vehicle you drive
