I have an oil leak coming from the front main seal and oil pan gasket. Approximately how much would it cost the average shop to repair this?

Hi,

According to the book it says for a manual transmission that it should take 4.4 hours. The parts are in general less than $50.00 so it depends on what the door rate is for the shop you are going to use. If they charge $100.00 per hour then the total job should be around $500.00 because you also have to factor in shop charges and if they mark up the parts. Again, this is just a ball park but that is how you would go about figuring out if they are over charging or not.

Let me know if you have questions or if you get some estimates feel free to send them over and I will be happy to review them and give you my opinion. Thanks
