Oil Leak
Spots on your driveway or a burning oil smell usually mean your engine is leaking oil somewhere. Oil leaks can come from a worn gasket, seal, or drain plug, and left alone they can lead to low oil and engine damage. We trace the leak to its source and repair it so your engine stays clean and properly lubricated.

Frequently asked questions
How do you find where an oil leak is coming from?
We clean the engine and inspect it, and may use a UV dye that shows up under a special light to pinpoint the exact source before repairing it.
Is it safe to drive with an oil leak?
A small leak may be okay short term if you check your oil often, but larger leaks risk running the engine low on oil and causing serious damage.
How much does an oil leak repair cost?
It depends on the source. A simple drain plug or valve cover gasket is inexpensive, while a rear main seal is more involved. We diagnose first and give you a clear estimate.
