Oil leak repair in North Parramatta
Oil leak repair at Vertex Automotive, 7 Daking Street, North Parramatta, starts with finding where the oil is coming from, then the gasket or seal is quoted in writing. Oil runs down and back along the engine, so the drip on the driveway is rarely under the leak itself.
Engines seal their oil in with gaskets and rubber seals. Heat hardens them over the years, and they start to weep, then drip.
More detail
Oil travels. It runs down the block and blows back along the underside, so a leak from the top can look like one from the bottom. We clean the engine down and trace it, with dye where it is hard to see.
A rocker cover gasket is a small job. A rear main seal means the gearbox comes out. You get the source named and priced before deciding, and we say plainly when a slow weep can simply be watched.

How much does oil leak repair cost?
It depends on where it leaks from. A rocker cover gasket is a small job; a rear main seal is a large one, because the gearbox comes out. We find the source, then quote it in writing.
Is an oil leak serious?
A slow weep is common on older engines and can be watched. A drip that lowers the oil level, or oil reaching the exhaust or a belt, needs fixing. We tell you which you have.
Can I keep driving with an oil leak?
Check the oil level every week and top it up to the mark. If the level drops quickly, the oil light comes on or you smell burning oil, stop and have it checked.
Is it engine oil or something else?
Engine oil is brown to black. Red fluid is usually transmission or power steering fluid, and thin green, pink or blue fluid is coolant. We identify it before quoting.
What are the signs of an oil leak?
- Oil spots where the car is parked
- A burning oil smell after a drive
- Smoke from under the bonnet
- The oil level drops between services
- Oil on the underside of the engine or gearbox
- The oil light flickers
