Go to the dealer shop to fully repair your car..How do you stop oil leak?
you need to find where the leak is comng from and start from there, if its a simple fix like replacing a gasket them do it your self but if its more complex like, but if its a craked block then you might be in trouble of buying a new engine, this question wouled be easier if you knew where the leak is coming from to begin with
Depends on where it is leaking from. Since a 2000 model we can assume there is some pressure under the valve cover. Might replace PCV valve and check tightness of bolts on cover. Most oil leaks will get worse over time. A leak at the back of engine or bottom can mean some pretty expensive repairs unless your a good shade tree mechanic. Snake oil remedy's rarely work with this type of problem.
well it depends on wether you would class yourself as capable of fixing the leak or not, where is it coming from would be a start because some oil leaks just arent worth fixing until they are really really bad like the rear crank seal, it takes seconds to change the seal but you first need to remove the gearbox and clutch to get to it which can cost hundreds and if it is just a few drops is it worth it
oil pan yes,valve cover yes,rear main seal no,front main seal no autozone.com has a online manual with step by step and diagrams to help you
