Default So i got an oil leak...

I actually have 2 leaks, one is the rear main seal and the other is the oil pan.

My first question is, about how much will this cost to get these fixed? It requires pulling the tranny and lifting the engine a little bit.

Second, whats the best place to get this done in houston? as close to the clear lake area as possible.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

You might make sure it is the rear main seal leaking and not the oil pressure sending unit, as it was on my Formula.


Fixing the oil pressure sending unit isn't too bad; once you pull the intake, its pretty easy to get to.
