Oil Leak..

[phokisonyou]

I went to valvoline to get my oil changed and they told me that some sort of oil was leaking under my car, not bad.. just a couple of drops or so but at the same time it has me worried because I drive a lot lol. They said it was between my exhaust so I'd have to take it off to fix it or something like that.. it's not my oil pan, that's what I thought it was lol. Does anyone have any idea of what it is and how much it would cost to get it fixed? Thanks in advance..!

When you say only a few drops, is that per hour, per minute, what? After you get your oil changed I would keep an eye on the oil level and check it every day. If it doesn't appear to go down much at all over the course of 5K miles, then I would just add oil every so often, or not even worry about it if it's still within the L-F range.

Ya a few drops. I got my oil changed before I left for St. Louis and came back and the oil level was in the same spot.

i wouldnt worry about it, if your oil level is the same after a week or two....

it could be leaking through threads from a sensor, or from an old gasket, or anything like that
