Oil leaks range from minor seepage to conditions that can quickly lower the oil level or create a fire risk. The source, leak rate, and location determine how urgent the repair is.

Common symptoms

"I see oil spots where I park"
"I smell burning oil while driving"
"My oil level keeps dropping between changes"
"I see smoke coming from the engine bay"

What we check

01 Visual inspection from above and below to identify leak source
02 Common leak points: valve cover, oil pan gasket, filter housing, timing cover, rear main seal
03 PCV system function — over-pressurization can drive oil past seals
04 Oil condition and level, contamination signs

Oil can travel across the engine and collect far from its source. Depending on the condition, we may clean the area, use UV dye, run the engine, and trace the highest wet point to confirm the leak.

Many accessible leak repairs—including valve-cover gaskets, selected oil-pan gaskets, and oil-filter housings—can be completed at your location. Repairs requiring engine support or extensive disassembly may require shop service.

A note on shop equipment

Some repairs cannot be completed safely at a mobile location. After the diagnostic, we will tell you whether the work can be done on-site or whether shop equipment is required, before any repair begins.
