  • estimate on oil pan/gasket??? asap

    hey everyone, well i finally figured out where the smell of burning oil was coming from in my car. The oil pan gasket is leaking and oil is dripping down onto my exhaust [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img] so. i have to get this fixed and i was going to do it myself but my fixit guide said i'd have to lift the engine and all that sort of crap, so has anyone had this done b4. i need to know how much it is going to cost... please help asap i wanna get this done as soon as possible so i don't have to be embarrased when i race someone and he pulls up next to me 5 minuets later and smell burning oil. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] thanks in advance [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    It's gonna run you about $300, at least that's what it cost me on my ford taurus.

      It's probably the Rear Main seal instead, as mine was on my 97. Replaced the OPG for $350, sum***** still leaked ... replaced it once or twice more (free), and what can I say -- it leaks slightly less, but I still think my RMS is leakin' ... whaaatever.

          well. i got prices everything was $350-$400 ... so i went to the store, bought the repair book and took a day off of work! 6hours later..Needless to say I still have $300 to blow on something useless and i no longer have an oil leak

            I know the 3.8 is a little different than my 3.4, but how did you do it? Don't you need to pull the motor up to change the gasket?

              actually according to my book that i bought changing the gasket is basically the same on both engines.. yes we had to lift the engine up... but my dad has one of those engine holding thingys... i cannot explain to well how to do it...but if you get one of those books they tell you exactly how.. but it was really hard.. .if you have an extra 300 i would have gotten it done professionally
