1992 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 156000 miles
I was told by a mechanic that i have a slow leak in my engine. THere is no liquid leaking in my driveway since i have had the car (about 5 days) but he was able to show me where this leak was in the engine. He mentioned that it was not anything i needed to get fixed now but when i did i would need to fix the Valve cover gasket the cam seal and the distributor seal. He also mentioned that if i got that work done i should replace the timing belt becasue it would not be any additional labor becasue to do the previous they have to take the timing belt off anyway. My question is ball park what would repairs like that cost? And how soon should i get that type of work done if the leaks are not prevalent?
