AAAAAAAAAAAGH!! my cars driving me mad!!...............right the details are vague i appreciate but my car has a major oil leak which means i cant drive the vehicle so i gt it towed to a garage this morning and he has since told me the leak is behind the "timing cover" or something similar sounding to that and he CANT DO IT!! any1 any idea what this might be please im SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo annoyed with that clown!!

 

crankshaft oil seal?? not that big a job

 

called my local subaru guys (cas motorsport) and thats what they said it could be as behind the "timing" somethin or other there are lots of potential places for oil to leak from. Should i be concerned about a big bill coming in?!!

 

how much should i expect to pay for this approx?!! any1!!

 

it depends where you go. I had mine done when i had my new engine built so have no idea what it would cost in the car. Best to normally have the cambelt done at the same time though. The actual seal only costs about a fiver though

 

hey rossi, yea figured the part would ber buttons so labours gna destroy me?!!...............any rough ideas on price please any1?

 

The seal itself will cost you about a fiver.

If your timing belt is contaminated with oil add another £100.

Labour should be 3 hours tops

Plus a couple of litres of coolant.

may as well do the oil and filter too

Worst case scenario about £300 i reckon
