How much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?

Took it to get an oil change but the mechanic said it's pointless. In the comments on my receipt he wrote:



%26quot;Massive leaks everywhere, remain seal, oil pan, power steering, engine oil leak noted%26quot;



How much would it cost to get that all patched up on a 97 VW Jetta?How much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?I would take it to another mechanic to see if he gave me the right diagnosis just in case he tried to get some extra money from you, and then I would ask for an estimate from both places.How much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?probably around 1200 bucks the rear engine seal is the worst cause the tranny needs to be removed to get at it. The oil pan is about 1 hr + the seal is around 20 bucks, the power stearing may be a seal but it may be a crack, this could run 200 for the unit. Good luck but I think around 1000-1200 should do it.How much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?For once you have found an honest mechanic who does NOT want to rip you off!!! Take his advice - if he tells you it's not worth it you better believe it. He makes money on fixing cars, not telling people the opposite. The main seal alone is probably $1000 (transmission has to come out to gain access).



Just drive it untill it dies. Refill fluids on a regular basis untill it just goes right through - or just get rid of the car right away.How much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?I agree with everyone else. For my '98 Ford Taurus: doing everything you have to do plus break job estimated $2000. Old parts that aren't manufactured a lot of nowdays cost A LOT!



Least to say I sold the car and got another one.How much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?Rear main seal are costly. Transmission must be removed to replace. This could get very costlyHow much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?probably 1,000 did for my blazerHow much would it cost to fix leaking fluids in my car?hard to say. best is to get another car.
